To calculate how long it will take to pay off the loan and how much you’ll end up paying in total, we can use the formula for an amortizing loan. With a loan of
at a
annual interest rate, if you’re paying
monthly, it could take approximately 115 months, or nearly 9.6 years, to pay off the car. If you make these payments for the entire duration, you would end up paying about
, which represents a total interest of around
.
Picture this: if you decided to stick to just the minimum payments, which are
, you might cringe at the over
paid in the end! However, if you had adjusted your monthly payment slightly higher—just enough to directly tackle the interest—you’d save yourself plenty in interest fees. It’s a classic case of “the more you pay now, the less you pay later!”
