Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of payments (Loan Term × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% APR over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $25,000
- Annual Interest Rate = 4.5%
- Monthly Interest Rate (r) = 4.5%/12 = 0.00375
- Loan Term in Months (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60] / [(1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1]
Monthly Payment ≈ $454.23
Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $1,823.40.
