Your car payment comes down to three things: how much you finance, your annual percentage rate (APR), and how many payments you make. Lowering any one of them lowers your payment or the total you pay.
Start with the vehicle price, then add sales tax and any fees you roll into the loan. Subtract your down payment and your trade-in value. If you still owe money on your trade-in, that balance is added back in.
A longer loan term spreads payments out, so each one is smaller, but you pay interest for longer. Use the term comparison in your results to see how much a shorter term could save you overall.
Insurance, fuel, maintenance, and registration renewals add to what you spend each month. Leaving room for those costs helps keep your car payment comfortable.
Your payment depends on the amount you finance, your annual percentage rate (APR), and the number of payments. The amount financed is generally the vehicle price plus sales tax and fees, minus your down payment and trade-in value, plus anything you still owe on your trade-in.
Start with the monthly payment that fits comfortably in your budget alongside insurance, fuel, and maintenance. Then use the How much car I can afford option in this calculator to turn that payment into an estimated vehicle price.
A larger down payment lowers the amount you finance, which lowers your payment and the total interest you pay. It can also help you avoid owing more than the car is worth early in the loan.
A longer term lowers your monthly payment but usually increases the total interest you pay. A shorter term costs more each month but less overall. The term comparison in this calculator shows the trade-off for your loan.
The difference, often called negative equity, is usually added to your new loan. Enter what you still owe on your trade-in so the calculator includes it in the amount financed.
