To use the auto loan eligibility calculator:

1. Enter your estimated annual income in USD
2. Select your credit score range
3. Enter your desired loan amount
4. Enter your down payment amount
5. Select your loan term in years
6. Click "Calculate" to see your results

The calculator will show you:

• Your estimated monthly payment
• Your total interest paid over the loan term
• Your loan-to-value ratio (LTV)
• A breakdown of your eligibility

Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

The loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is calculated as:

Eligibility is determined based on standard auto loan requirements:

• Minimum credit score requirements
• Income-to-loan ratio guidelines
• Down payment requirements
• Loan term limitations

Worked Example

Let's calculate eligibility for a $25,000 loan with a 5% down payment ($1,250 down), 60-month term, and 720 credit score:

1. Principal = $25,000 - $1,250 = $23,750
2. Assume 5.5% APR (monthly rate = 0.004583)
3. Monthly payment = $23,750 [ 0.004583(1.004583)^60 ] / [ (1.004583)^60 - 1 ] ≈ $423.50
4. Total interest = ($423.50 × 60) - $23,750 ≈ $1,030
5. LTV = ($25,000 / $26,250) × 100 ≈ 95.2%

This loan would likely be approved with a 720 credit score and meets income requirements if your annual income is at least $50,000 (25% debt-to-income ratio).

Interpreting Results

Your results will show:

• Monthly payment: The amount you'll pay each month
• Total interest: The total interest you'll pay over the loan term
• Loan-to-value ratio: The percentage of the vehicle's value that's financed
• Eligibility status: Whether you're likely to be approved based on your inputs
