Formula Used

The auto loan payment is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ] Where: M = Monthly payment P = Principal loan amount i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the unpaid balance of your loan each month.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $20,000 auto loan with a 4.5% annual interest rate for 5 years:

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Number of payments = 5 years × 12 = 60 months
Using the formula:
M = $20,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $362.48
Total interest paid = ($362.48 × 60) - $20,000 = $6,148.80

This example shows that with a $20,000 loan at 4.5% for 5 years, you would pay approximately $362.48 per month with $6,148.80 in total interest.
