How the auto loan calculator works

Calculate an auto loan payment and compare principal, interest, and repayment cost.

Formula

Monthly payment uses the standard fixed-rate amortization formula based on principal, monthly APR, and number of payments.

Example

Financing $30,000 at 6.5% for 60 months spreads the principal and interest across 60 equal payments.

What affects the result

  • Borrowing less has the largest direct effect on payment.
  • A lower APR reduces interest on every payment.
  • A shorter term raises the payment but usually lowers total interest.
