Our Car Finance Calculator is a dynamic, user-friendly tool that takes in various inputs to calculate your potential car loan details. These inputs include the price of the car (loan amount), the term length of your loan (loan terms), and the annual interest rate (APR) you expect to be offered. Find out more about how APR works here.
Based on these factors, the calculator employs a formula, which accounts for how each payment is applied to the principal balance and interest on the loan. In the early stages of the loan, a greater proportion of your payment goes toward the interest. As you make more payments, a larger amount goes towards reducing the principal loan amount.
Using these factors, the calculator provides a detailed breakdown of your estimated monthly payments and the total interest you’d pay over the loan’s life. It offers a comprehensive view of what your financial commitments could potentially be under the specified loan parameters. Do bear in mind this calculator is an estimate, based on information provided for illustrative purposes only and actual repayment amount may vary.
