Free Car Loan Calculator
Calculate a monthly car payment including sales tax, down payment and trade-in.
The amount financed is the vehicle price plus sales tax, minus your down payment and trade-in value. The payment uses the standard amortization formula over the chosen number of months, and total cost adds your down payment and trade-in back.
How to use the Car Loan Calculator
- Enter the amount, interest rate and term. Pick your country at the top so the currency matches.
- Compare the monthly payment, total interest and payoff date in the result.
- Change one number at a time, such as a higher payment, to see what it saves.
About the Car Loan Calculator
Calculate a monthly car payment including sales tax, down payment and trade-in.
Borrowing is easier to judge once you can see the real cost: the monthly payment, the total interest and how long it takes to be free of the debt.

Using the car loan calculator takes a minute or two. Your entries are saved in this browser, so you can come back later and carry on.
Tips for better results
Compare terms: longer loans lower the payment but raise total interest, and you may owe more than the car is worth for longer. Add insurance and running costs when judging affordability.
Compare offers using the total cost, not just the monthly payment.
Even a small extra payment each month can shorten the term noticeably.

Frequently asked questions
Is sales tax financed in this calculation?
Yes, the tax percentage is added to the price before subtracting your down payment and trade-in. Set it to zero if tax is paid separately or does not apply.
Does a larger down payment lower my rate?
The tool does not change the rate, but lenders may offer better rates with more down. Even at the same rate, it reduces the balance and total interest.
Is the car loan calculator free?
Yes. It is free to use with no signup, no watermark and no usage limits.

Yes. Your inputs are processed in your browser and saved only in its local storage. They are not uploaded to our servers.
