How the Car Payment Calculator works

This calculator estimates your monthly vehicle loan payment using the vehicle price, down payment, trade-in value, sales tax, interest rate and repayment term.

Sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the vehicle price. Your down payment and trade-in value are then deducted to estimate the amount financed.

Monthly payments are calculated using a standard fixed-rate amortizing loan formula.

The estimate assumes sales tax is financed and the trade-in has no outstanding loan balance. Actual sales tax treatment varies by state, and dealer fees, registration, insurance and other charges are not included.
