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 (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan in the specified term, including both principal and interest.

Worked Example

Let's calculate an example auto loan:

Loan Amount: $25,000

Interest Rate: 4.5% APR

Loan Term: 5 years

Using the formula:

Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.045/12 × (1 + 0.045/12)^60) / ((1 + 0.045/12)^60 - 1)

Calculating this gives an estimated monthly payment of $452.38.

Over 5 years, you would pay a total of $12,661.40 in interest, bringing your total loan repayment to $37,661.40.
