Car loan monthly payment

Compute monthly payment with n, i, PV, and PMT.

Scenario

Car price of $85,000, down payment of $20,000, financed over 48 months at 1.35% monthly.

Inputs

  • PV = 65000
  • n = 48
  • i = 1.35
  • FV = 0

Key sequence

  1. 165000 PV
  2. 248 n
  3. 31.35 i
  4. 40 FV
  5. 5PMT

How to read the result

If PMT jumps with a small rate change, review total effective cost and bundled insurance fees.
