Why do I keep getting different answers than the dealer?

Dealers often include hidden fees, tax differences, or add-on products like 'gap insurance' or 'extended warranties' in their numbers. Make sure you are accounting for the total out-the-door price, not just the sticker price on the window.

How can I lower my monthly bill without changing the car?

You can increase your down payment, trade in your current vehicle for a higher value, or look for a loan with a lower interest rate. You could also extend the loan term, but remember that will increase the total amount of interest you pay over time.

Is it better to pay more upfront or keep the cash in my savings?

It is a balance between interest savings and liquidity. If your loan interest rate is higher than what you earn in a savings account, putting more money down is usually the smarter financial move.

What is 'negative equity' and why should I care?

Negative equity happens when you owe more on the car than it is actually worth. It usually occurs if you take a very long loan with little money down, making it hard to sell or trade the car later without paying the bank extra.

Does my credit score matter for this calculator?

The calculator doesn't know your credit score, but your score determines the APR you will actually be offered. Use the calculator to 'stress test' different rates to see how a lower credit score might make your monthly payment jump.

Can I use this for a used car?

Absolutely! It works for any vehicle purchase. Just be aware that used car loans often come with higher interest rates than new car loans, so adjust your APR input accordingly.

What if I plan to pay the car off early?

You can use the calculator to see the standard payments, but if you have extra cash, you can pay more toward the principal each month. This isn't reflected in the standard monthly payment result, but it will shorten your loan term and save you a lot of interest.
