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 for a loan with a fixed interest rate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% interest rate over 5 years:

Principal (P) = $25,000
Annual interest rate = 4.5% or 0.045
Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.045 / 12 ≈ 0.003792
Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60

Monthly Payment = $25,000 × (0.003792(1 + 0.003792)^60) / ((1 + 0.003792)^60 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $456.24

Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $2,724.80, and the total cost of the loan would be $27,724.80.
