How it works

Enter the amount you want to borrow, the annual interest rate and the term in months. You will see the monthly payment, the total repaid and the total interest cost. Compare different terms: a longer term lowers the payment but increases total interest.

Shorter term versus lower payment

For a $25,000 loan at 7%, a 36-month term costs about $772 a month, 60 months about $495, and 72 months about $426. The longer the term, the smaller the payment, but the more interest you pay in total. Try each term above to see the totals.

Before you sign

This calculator assumes a fixed rate and equal monthly payments. It is an estimate, not a loan offer.

Common questions

How do I calculate a car loan payment?

Enter the price minus any down payment as the loan amount, then the rate and the number of months.

Why is total interest higher on longer loans?

Interest accrues for more months, so you pay more overall even though each payment is smaller.

Can I use this for a car loan?

Yes. Enter the amount financed, which is the price minus your down payment and trade-in value, then the rate and term.

What if my rate is 0%?

The calculator divides the amount evenly across the months.
