Calculating the total cost of a car loan in France requires accounting for both the loan amount and the various taxes that apply. This calculator helps you determine the total amount you'll pay including taxes, allowing you to make informed financial decisions when purchasing a car.

How to Use This Calculator

To calculate the total cost of your car loan with taxes, follow these simple steps:

  1. Enter the loan amount in euros (€)
  2. Select the loan term in years
  3. Enter the annual interest rate (in percentage)
  4. Enter the purchase price of the car (optional)
  5. Click "Calculate" to see your results

The calculator will display your monthly payment, total interest paid, and the total amount repaid including taxes. You can also view a breakdown of the repayment schedule.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate monthly payments:

Monthly Payment Formula

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]

Where:

  • M = Monthly payment
  • P = Principal loan amount
  • i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
  • n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

The total amount repaid is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments. Taxes are added to the purchase price and are not included in the loan amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a car loan with the following details:

  • Loan amount: €20,000
  • Loan term: 5 years
  • Annual interest rate: 4%
  • Purchase price: €25,000

Using the calculator:

  1. Enter €20,000 as the loan amount
  2. Select 5 years as the loan term
  3. Enter 4% as the annual interest rate
  4. Enter €25,000 as the purchase price
  5. Click "Calculate"

The calculator will show:

  • Monthly payment: €368.50
  • Total interest paid: €3,040.00
  • Total amount repaid: €23,040.00
  • Total cost including taxes: €28,040.00 (assuming €3,000 in taxes)

This example shows that the total cost of the car, including taxes and loan repayment, is €28,040.00 over 5 years.
