Understanding Your Auto Loan

Before you buy a new or used car, it's critical to understand the true cost. Dealerships often focus on the monthly payment, but you should look at the total amount financed and total interest paid.

Trade-Ins and Taxes: In many states, trading in a vehicle lowers the taxable amount of your new car. Our calculator accounts for this by subtracting the trade-in value before applying sales tax (rules vary by state).

Auto loan interest is typically simple interest, meaning it is calculated daily based on the principal balance you owe. The faster you pay down the principal, the less interest you will pay overall.
