Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × n) - P

Total Amount Repaid = Monthly Payment × n

Worked Example

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

1. Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
2. Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
3. Monthly payment = $25,000 × [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰] / [(1 + 0.00375)⁶⁰ - 1] ≈ $482.46
4. Total interest = ($482.46 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,947.60
5. Total amount repaid = $482.46 × 60 ≈ $26,947.60
