Auto Loan Calculator
Estimate car payment, total interest, and out-the-door cost after taxes and down payment. Educational estimates only.
How to use this calculator
Enter vehicle price, down payment or trade-in, APR, and loan term. The calculator estimates financed amount, monthly payment, and total interest.
When this calculator is useful
- Comparing 48/60/72-month loan terms
- Understanding payment versus total cost
- Avoiding affordability surprises
Important limitations
Taxes, title, registration, dealer add-ons, insurance, maintenance, and negative equity are not fully modeled.
For best results, run at least three cases: a conservative case, a middle case, and a stretch case. If a small change in inputs creates a big change in the answer, that is a sign the decision may be sensitive to rates, fees, timing, or market performance.
