How to use this calculator
Enter the vehicle price and deposit, your lender's annual nominal interest rate and repayment period. Add any fees financed with the loan or paid upfront. Optionally include extra monthly repayments. Select Calculate repayments to view your monthly payment, interest, total cash outlay and amortization table.
Formula and assumptions
Financed principal = vehicle price − deposit + financed fees. Monthly rate = annual nominal interest rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100. For monthly rate r and term n, scheduled payment = principal × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)−n). At 0% interest, payment = principal ÷ n.
Interest accrues monthly on the opening balance; the regular instalment and optional extra principal payment are applied at month-end. The final payment is adjusted to avoid overpayment. The repayment schedule is rounded for display, but calculations use unrounded amounts. A lender may use a different compounding convention, flat-rate interest, fees or payment timing.
Understanding the results
Total loan payments includes principal, financed fees and interest. Total cash outlay additionally includes the deposit and upfront fees. Neither is a guarantee of approval, affordability or resale value.

Frequently asked questions
What is a vehicle loan repayment calculator?
It estimates instalments, total interest, and a payment-by-payment balance schedule from user-entered loan terms.
How is the monthly payment calculated?
For a reducing-balance loan, the calculator uses the standard annuity formula. At zero interest, principal is divided equally across payments.
Does the calculator support deposits?
Yes. The financed principal is the vehicle price minus deposit plus any fees selected for financing.
Are interest rates fixed by the calculator?
No. Enter the annual nominal interest rate offered by your lender; the calculator does not provide a current market rate.
What is the difference between financed and upfront fees?
Financed fees increase the principal and incur interest. Upfront fees are paid separately and included in the total out-of-pocket estimate.
Can I make extra monthly repayments?
Yes. Optional additional monthly principal payments can shorten the loan and reduce interest, subject to your lender’s rules.
Is this a lender quote or loan approval?
No. It is an estimate based on a fixed-rate reducing-balance model. Confirm actual fees, compounding, insurance, penalties, and repayment terms with the lender.
