Key takeaways
- Sample only: $30,000 · $3,000 down · 7% · 60 months → payment about $534.63, amount financed $27,000.00, interest about $5,077.94.
- Longer terms usually lower the monthly payment and raise total interest for the same APR and amount financed.
- Not a quote: dealers add products, insurance, and different day counts. This is transparent amortizing math for learning.
- How the auto loan calculator works
How it works
We compute amount financed from price, down payment, trade-in, and optional tax/fees, then use standard fixed-rate amortization. Details: how we calculate.

- $30,000 · 10% down · 7% · 60 mo
- $25,000 · $2,000 trade-in · 6.5% · 48 mo

Guides
How does this auto loan calculator work?
It builds an amount financed from price, down payment, trade-in, optional tax and fees you type, then amortizes at your sample APR. Sample: $30,000 with $3,000 down at 7% for 60 months → about $534.63/mo. Educational only.
Is the APR a live dealer rate?
No. You type a sample APR from a quote or disclosure. Nestfigure does not list dealer offers.
How is sales tax handled?
Optional. Tax is modeled as a percent of (vehicle price − trade-in) and added to the amount financed. Not a state tax table.
Can I prefill from a link?
Yes. Parameters: price, down, tradeIn, tax, fees, apr, months, extra.
Is this calculator free?
Yes—free, no signup. Educational math only; not a credit offer.
