$80,000.00 financed; 60 monthly payments in arrears.
Total interest: $18,479.35. Down payment and trade-in are outside this repayment total.
What this payment includes
Financed amount = truck price − down payment − net trade-in allowance. Enter trade equity after any existing loan payout. The annual input is a nominal interest rate divided by 12, with monthly compounding and payments at month end. It is not an effective annual rate or a fee-inclusive lender APR.
No balloon, residual, deferred payment, variable rate, weekly or biweekly schedule is supported. Taxes, origination and registration fees, insurance and other charges are excluded; obtain a separate acquisition budget and lender schedule. A lender may round each instalment or calculate interest differently.
Calculation and worked example
For principal P, monthly rate r and n months, payment = P × r ÷ [1 − (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]. At zero interest, payment = P ÷ n. Total interest = payment × n − P, using unrounded intermediate results.
Illustration: $95,000 price less $15,000 down, no trade-in, 8.5% nominal annual interest and 60 months finances $80,000. The monthly payment is $1,641.32; unrounded payments total $98,479.35, including $18,479.35 interest. This is a calculation example, not an available finance offer.
