Get matched for a car loan →Your monthly car payment is built from three things: the amount you finance, the interest rate, and the length of the term. The loan is amortized, meaning each fixed payment covers the interest for that month plus a portion of the principal — so early payments are more interest, and later ones pay down more of the balance.

The key insight the calculator reveals: a longer term lowers your monthly payment but raises the total interest you pay. Try setting the same amount and rate at 48 months versus 84 months — the payment drops, but the interest total climbs. The goal is the shortest term with a payment you can comfortably afford.
