Frequently Asked Questions

How is the monthly payment calculated?

We use the standard amortization formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n – 1], where P is principal, r is monthly rate, and n is number of months.

What is a good car loan interest rate?

Rates for new cars range from 5-8% for good credit. Used cars are typically 1-2% higher. Excellent credit can get rates under 5%.

Should I make extra payments?

Extra payments reduce total interest and shorten the loan. Even $50/month extra can save thousands over the loan life.
