Worked Example
Let's calculate a $25,000 car loan with these parameters:
- Loan amount: $25,000
- Term: 5 years
- Interest rate: 5.5%
- Amortization: 5 years
The calculator would show:
- Monthly payment: $470.45
- Total interest: $2,927.40
- Total cost: $27,927.40
- Ontario tax impact: $3,250 (13% of $25,000)
This example demonstrates how the Ontario tax affects your total loan cost.
Interpreting Results
The calculator provides several key metrics:
- Monthly payment: Your regular payment amount
- Total interest: The total interest you'll pay over the loan term
- Total cost: The sum of your principal and interest payments
- Ontario tax impact: The provincial sales tax applied to your loan amount
Use these numbers to compare different loan options and understand your financial commitment.
Remember that the Ontario tax impact is applied to the loan amount, not the interest. This means you'll pay 13% of your loan principal as provincial sales tax.
