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)
Total interest paid is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total of all monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 loan at 4.5% APR for 5 years:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Loan Amount | $25,000 |
| Interest Rate | 4.5% |
| Loan Term | 5 years |
Using the formula:
Monthly Payment = $25,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60] / [(1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1]
Monthly Payment ≈ $465.24
Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $1,821.40.
