Calculate payments over the life of your Loan
Home Blog Privacy Terms About ContactAuto Loan Calculator was born out of a simple frustration: the lack of transparent, straightforward tools to help everyday people understand the true cost of car financing. In 2025, we noticed that most online auto loan calculators were either cluttered with advertisements, required unnecessary personal information, or were simply difficult to use on mobile devices.
We set out to build something different—a calculator that puts users first. Our team spent months researching industry-standard amortization formulas, testing different user interface designs, and gathering feedback from real car buyers to create the most intuitive and accurate auto loan calculator available online today.
What started as a weekend project quickly grew into a mission-driven platform. We realized that by providing clear, unbiased information about auto financing, we could help thousands of people avoid costly mistakes, negotiate better terms with dealers, and ultimately save money on one of life's biggest purchases.
Every year, millions of car buyers walk into dealerships without fully understanding how interest rates, loan terms, and down payments affect their monthly payments and total costs. This knowledge gap often leads to:
Our free calculator addresses these issues by providing instant, accurate estimates that empower buyers to make confident, informed decisions before ever stepping foot in a dealership or bank.
Transparency is at the core of everything we do. Our auto loan calculator uses the same standard amortization formula that banks, credit unions, and lending institutions use to calculate monthly payments. This ensures that the estimates you receive from our tool closely match what you'll see from actual lenders.
We calculate your monthly payment using the following industry-standard amortization formula:
Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n – 1]
Where:
• P = Principal loan amount
• r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• n = Total number of monthly payments (years × 12)
While our calculator provides highly accurate estimates, it's important to understand what it does and doesn't include:
For the most accurate estimate of your total out-of-pocket costs, we always recommend using our calculator as a starting point, then discussing specific fees and charges with your lender or dealer.
These principles guide every decision we make and every feature we build:
