Auto Loan Calculator Help

Use this calculator to calculate loan details when the down payment is expressed as an amount.

Unlike a general loan calculator, this calculator allows for two unknown values. In addition to solving for the monthly payment amount, it will also calculate the "Car Price", the "Down Payment Amount" or the "Loan Amount". Just enter a "0" (zero) for one of the three values and provide the other two.

Note that the calculator calculates what percentage the down payment is of the price of the car. This is handy when a lender requires a borrower to provide a minimum percentage cash deposit.

The term (duration) of the loan is expressed as a number of months.

•  60 months =  5 years
• 120 months = 10 years
• 180 months = 15 years
• 240 months = 20 years
• 360 months = 30 years

If you need the ability to print the amortization schedule, or more flexibility such as selecting different payment or compounding frequencies or the ability to calculate term or interest rate, please see the auto loan calculator here: https://financial-calculators.com/auto-loan-calculator
