Payment Calculator Value Your Trade
Calculate Your Car Payment
In order to calculate your monthly car payments, you'll need some information to plug into the payment calculator. Before using this, try out the value your trade tool. This will help you estimate how much your old vehicle is worth before you trade it in. After you get this price, the payment calculator tool will ask you for:
- Interest rate
- Vehicle price
- Loan term
- Down payment
- Trade in value
Calculate Your Auto Loan Interest
When calculating the loan interest on your first payment, all you need to do is divide your interest rate by the number of payments for the year. Next, multiply that by the balance of your loan. As for the rest of your payments, follow these steps:
- Subtract the interest you've calculated from your last payment.
- Deduct this total from your original principal to get a new balance.
In the end, human error and rounding can cause you to miss out on an exact calculation each time, but you'll have a good basic idea of how much the interest is on your loan.
