The car payment calculator is intended to help you figure out how much your car payments might be. In addition, you'll get an idea of how much interest you pay over the years.  The car payment calculator includes an amortization schedule for your reference.

After filling in information related to your loan, click the Calculate button. A table will appear in the textbox below.

You may want to plug the car payment calculator's output into Excel so that you can work on a budget. To do so, copy everything and paste it into a spreadsheet. Then, use Data --> Text to Columns to split the numbers into different columns.

By using the car payment calculator, you can avoid the situation where you are upside-down on your auto loan -- meaning you owe more on the vehicle than it is worth.  To do this, make some estimates on your vehicle's value after any number of months.  Then, check the car payment calculator's output to see how much is left on the loan.

The car payment calculator is already filled in for a general car purchase.  In general, you'll find that auto loans run from 48 to 72 months.  Of course your payments are lower with a longer term.  However, the longer the term, the greater your total interest cost.
