Car loan calculator

Work out the monthly payment from the car's price, your down payment, tax and interest rate.

Choosing a country sets the currency, tax, usual term and a typical interest rate.

These are estimates, not financial advice. Check the real rate and fees with your bank or lender.

How this is worked out

Loan amount = car price + sales tax − down payment − trade-in. In Canada and the US, tax is charged on the price after the trade-in.

In Europe, India and Sri Lanka the sticker price already includes VAT or GST, so tax starts at 0%.

In Malaysia and Singapore car loans are usually quoted as a flat rate, where interest is charged on the full original amount every year. Choosing those countries uses the flat-rate method.
