Auto Loan Formulas & Equations

Monthly Payment Formula

M = (P - D) × [r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ - 1]
  • M = Monthly payment
  • P = Vehicle price
  • D = Down payment + Trade-in value
  • r = Monthly interest rate
  • n = Loan term in months

Total Cost of Ownership

Total Cost = (M × n) + D + Taxes + Fees

Includes all payments plus down payment, taxes, and registration fees.

Example

  • • Loan amount: $25,000
  • • Monthly payment: $483.15
  • • Total interest: $3,989
