About this tool

A car payment is price − down payment − trade-in, plus sales tax on the difference (in most states), financed at the rate for the term. The classic affordability check is 20/4/10: 20% down, loan ≤ 4 years, total transport ≤ 10% of gross income. This calculator outputs the payment and how far the deal sits from that rule.

FAQ

Should I finance through the dealer?
Compare — dealer markup on rates is common; a credit-union pre-approval is your negotiating baseline.
Is a 72–84 month loan ever smart?
Rarely — negative equity for years and heavy interest; the 20/4/10 verdict will say so honestly.
