Auto Refinance Calculator Navy Federal

Refinancing your auto loan can help you save money by taking advantage of lower interest rates or better terms. The Navy Federal auto refinance calculator helps you estimate your potential savings by comparing your current loan with a new offer from Navy Federal.

How the Auto Refinance Calculator Works

The auto refinance calculator compares your current auto loan with a new offer from Navy Federal. It calculates the difference in monthly payments, total interest paid, and potential savings over the life of the loan.

Key Formulas

Monthly Payment Calculation:

P = L × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Monthly payment
L = Loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in months)

Total Interest Paid:

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × n) - L

The calculator uses these formulas to compare your current loan with the Navy Federal offer, showing you the potential savings in both monthly payments and total interest over the life of the loan.
