Calculation Details

This calculator uses standard loan amortization formulas. It deducts trade-in and down payment from the vehicle price, applies sales tax and fees, and computes payments based on APR and term. The output includes:

• Monthly Payment: Principal + interest per month.
• Total Interest: Sum of interest over the loan term.
• Total Cost: Sum of principal, interest, tax, and fees.

Practical Tips

• Increase your down payment to reduce monthly payments and interest.
• Consider shorter terms for lower total interest, but higher monthly payments.
• Improve credit score to qualify for lower APR offers.
• Negotiate dealer fees and trade-in values to optimize financing.
