Auto Payment Calculator: There are multiple benefits to using this particular calculator.

First, you can use the calculator to quickly determine your monthly auto loan payment. This can be especially helpful if you are trying to decide on the best terms and pricing from more than one loan offer.

All you need to do is input the amount of loan, rate and details of your trade-in and you will immediately see the amount of the monthly payment.

Run as many if/then scenarios as needed to determine a payment that you are comfortable with.

Now what if you already know the payment you can afford, but you just aren’t sure about how much you can spend on a new vehicle?

It's very simple, just choose the option for calculating “Total Purchase Price” and you learn the amount of the purchase price that fits within your monthly payment.

Best of all, as with all of our financial calculators, you can see a complete summary of the terms you choose, along with a full amortization schedule that you can print for future reference. Simply click on “View Report”.

If you are a repeat visitor to this website, you already know that we do not encourage people to go into debt, and certainly not in order to buy an automobile. However, if you are in a situation where you must finance a vehicle, please adhere to some good old fashioned advice.

• Never buy a brand new vehicle. (Unless you are independently wealthy.) It will depreciate 30% before you can drive it home.
• Never finance a vehicle longer than 48 months. If you have to go longer, then you can’t afford the car.

Consider buying a $1000 beater car for cash. Drive it for the next 10 months. If you save that $300 a month payment for those same 10 months, you’ll have $3000 that you can then use to upgrade your vehicle. Now, you’re driving a $3,000 car! Do this again for another 10 months and now you’re driving a $6,000 car, and you will buy it for CASH!

Yes, it will take time, but the rewards are huge.

Without a doubt, ‘transportation’ is one of the few must-have’s, but that does not mean that you need a brand new $30,000 car to meet your ‘need’.

Take it slow. Do your research. Our auto payment calculator can certainly help. Bottom line, take the time necessary to make a thoughtful, fully informed decision whenever you are getting ready to sign you name to any loan document.

For anyone who already has a car loan and is interested in learning how to pay it off faster – enter your current terms into the auto payment calculator using the “Monthly Payment” option. Next, change the “Term in Months” to see how quickly you can payoff your loan it you were to make a larger monthly payment.

That’s right, use our auto payment calculator to pay down that nasty car loan as quick as humanly possible! The sooner you get rid of it, the better off you will be. In fact, you will be amazed at how great you’ll feel knowing that you have that extra money at the end of every month.
