How to Use the TipRanks Auto Loan Calculator:
Vehicle Price:
Start by entering the total price of the vehicle you’re considering. This should be the listed or negotiated price before any additional fees or taxes.
Interest Rate
Input the interest rate you've been quoted or expect to receive. If unsure, check the current average car loan rates.
Loan Term:
Choose the duration for which you wish to repay the loan. Common terms include 36, 48, or 60 months, but our calculator can accommodate various durations.
Down Payment:
Enter the amount you plan to pay upfront. This reduces the principal amount that will be financed.
Trade-in Value (Optional):
If you’re trading in an old vehicle, input its value here. This will act as a credit toward the purchase of the new vehicle.
Amount Owed on Trade-in (Optional):
If there's an outstanding loan on the vehicle you're trading in, enter that amount here. This will be subtracted from the trade-in value to determine the net credit or additional amount you owe.
