How the auto loan calculator works
Your loan amount is the vehicle price minus your down payment and any trade-in value. The calculator applies the standard amortization formula with your interest rate and term to find a fixed monthly payment, and shows the total interest and overall cost of the car loan.
Tips for a cheaper car loan
A shorter term means a higher monthly payment but much less interest. A larger down payment or trade-in lowers the amount you borrow. And your interest rate depends heavily on your credit, so it pays to compare lenders before signing.
