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 is calculated by subtracting the original loan amount from the total of all monthly payments.

Worked Example

Let's calculate payments for a $25,000 loan at 4.5% APR over 5 years:

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly payment = $25,000 × (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $473.50
Total payments = $473.50 × 60 ≈ $28,410
Total interest = $28,410 - $25,000 = $3,410

This example shows you would pay approximately $473.50 per month with $3,410 in total interest over 5 years.
