Formula Used

The auto loan calculator uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your monthly payments:

Loan Payment Formula

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula accounts for the interest you'll pay over the life of the loan and helps you understand the true cost of borrowing.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you want to borrow PHP 1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 12% over a 5-year term.

Enter PHP 1,000,000 as the loan amount.
Enter 12% as the annual interest rate.
Select 5 years as the loan term.
Click Calculate.

The calculator will show:

Monthly Payment: PHP 21,865.60
Total Interest: PHP 243,828.00
Total Payment: PHP 1,243,828.00

This means you'll pay PHP 21,865.60 each month for 60 months, with a total interest of PHP 243,828.00 and a total repayment of PHP 1,243,828.00.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between APR and interest rate?

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the annual cost of borrowing, including all fees and charges. The interest rate is the cost of borrowing without fees. APR is always higher than the interest rate.

How do I find my loan term?

Your loan term is the length of time you have to repay your loan. Common terms range from 1 to 7 years. Check with your lender for specific options.

Can I pay extra on my auto loan?

Yes, paying extra can reduce your interest and pay off your loan faster. However, check with your lender about any prepayment penalties.

What happens if I can't make my payments?

If you can't make payments, contact your lender immediately. They may offer forbearance, loan modification, or other solutions to help you avoid default.
