Car Loan Calculator
Calculate your monthly auto loan payment including down payment, trade-in value and sales tax.
How car loan payments are calculated
We compute the total financed loan amount as (price โ trade-in) ร (1 + tax) โ down, then apply the standard amortization formula M = L ยท i / (1 โ (1+i)โn).
A longer loan term will lower your monthly payment, but you will pay significantly more in total interest over the life of the loan.
