How Does Auto Loan Interest Work?

How Does Auto Loan Interest Work?

Auto loan interest is usually calculated using a simple interest formula, as opposed to a compound interest formula. This means that your monthly payments include principal and interest paid only on the principal (and not on incurred interest balance).

Basics

    Common auto loans are established for 36- to 72-month payoff terms. Similar to home mortgages, auto loans are paid on an amortized schedule that takes into account the principal, interest rate and loan period.

Formula

    Your total interest paid over your loan term is calculated by multiplying the original principal balance by the interest rate and multiplying that total by the loan term in years.

Function

    Your initial loan payment has the highest proportion of interest to total payment ratio. Each month's payment has a portion applied to the principal balance, which reduces your principal. This means the next month's interest will be calculated on a lower balance. By paying additional principal as possible, you can pay less total interest over the loan term.
