Today, it is now possible to calculate your loan and alter the variables until the numbers work for you by using an auto loan calculator.

Instructions


1 Find an online auto loan calculator. Some examples can be found in the "Resources" section of this article.

2 Input the auto loan amount, the term (length) and the interest rate.
