Formula Used

This calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

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 = (Monthly Payment × n) - P

Total Amount Paid = Monthly Payment × n

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 auto loan with a 5.5% annual interest rate over 5 years:

Convert annual rate to monthly: 5.5% ÷ 12 ≈ 0.4583%
Calculate number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 months
Plug into formula: $25,000 × (0.004583(1 + 0.004583)⁶⁰)/( (1 + 0.004583)⁶⁰ - 1) ≈ $475.24
Total interest: ($475.24 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,723.20
Total amount paid: $475.24 × 60 ≈ $26,723.20
