Formula used

Taxable amount = max(0, vehicle price − trade-in value). Sales tax = taxable amount × tax rate ÷ 100. Amount financed = vehicle price + sales tax + fees − down payment − trade-in value. Monthly payment = P × r(1+r)^n ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is amount financed, r is the monthly interest rate and n is months. If the rate is 0%, payment = P ÷ n.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Principal-and-interest estimate only. Confirm tax treatment, APR, fees and repayment rules with the lender or official contract.

The loan uses a fixed annual interest rate converted to a monthly rate.
Sales tax is estimated on vehicle price minus trade-in value; some places tax rebates, trade-ins and fees differently.
Fees are treated as financed amounts, not paid separately in cash.
Insurance, maintenance, fuel, registration renewals, early payoff penalties, variable rates and lender-specific APR disclosure rules are not included.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: compare the payment with the amount financed and total interest, not only the monthly number. A longer term can make the payment look comfortable while raising total interest and keeping the car underwater for longer.

Method

For a 35,000 vehicle, 5,000 down, no trade-in, 7% tax, 800 financed fees, 6.9% annual interest and 60 months: tax = 35,000 × 0.07 = 2,450. Amount financed = 35,000 + 2,450 + 800 − 5,000 = 33,250. The monthly rate is 0.069 ÷ 12, giving an estimated payment of about 656.84 per month.
