Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Use this auto finance calculator to estimate your monthly payments and total interest when financing a car through Chase. The calculator considers your loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and down payment to provide an accurate estimate of your financing costs.

How to Use This Calculator

To use the auto finance calculator, follow these simple steps:

  1. Enter the purchase price of the vehicle you want to finance.
  2. Select the down payment amount you plan to make.
  3. Choose the loan term (length of the loan in months).
  4. Enter the annual percentage rate (APR) offered by Chase for your credit profile.
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated monthly payment and total interest.

The calculator will display your estimated monthly payment, total interest paid over the life of the loan, and the total amount you'll pay back (principal + interest).

Formula Used

The auto finance calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

Monthly Payment = P * (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1) Where: P = Principal loan amount (Purchase Price - Down Payment) r = Monthly interest rate (APR / 12 / 100) n = Number of payments (Loan Term in months)

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment * n) - P

Total Amount Paid = (Monthly Payment * n)

Worked Example

Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $30,000 car with a $3,000 down payment, 60-month loan term, and 4.5% APR.

  1. Principal (P) = $30,000 - $3,000 = $27,000
  2. Monthly interest rate (r) = 4.5% / 12 / 100 = 0.00375
  3. Number of payments (n) = 60
  4. Monthly Payment = $27,000 * (0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60) / ((1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1) ≈ $482.50
  5. Total Interest = ($482.50 * 60) - $27,000 ≈ $1,350
  6. Total Amount Paid = $482.50 * 60 ≈ $28,950
