Car Loan Calculator

This 5-step calculator will tell you:

  • What payments fit your budget

  • What interest rate you can expect

  • How much you can borrow

  • How much car you can afford

Let's get started!

Just want to know how much you can borrow? Just enter your car loan payment and annual interest rate below. Then click "calculate". Try as many combinations as you’d like! The car loan calculator will tell you what the cost of financing a car will be.

When you’re done, submit the easy SmartCarCredit car loan application form. We’ll match your auto loan needs with our lenders and dealers. You’ll save time and money!


Remember that this simple car finance calculator does not replace the need for a more thorough car loan budget. Use the simple budget below as a guideline and remember that, as a general rule, your monthly car loan payment should be no more that 15% of your gross monthly income. With our car loan calculator, you can calculate a reasonable loan for yourself. Use the car loan calculator only as a guide to choose the right car loan for you.
