Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

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 (Annual Rate / 12)
n = Number of payments (Loan Term in months)

The calculator uses Carvana's standard interest rates based on your credit score range:

Credit Score Range	Estimated Interest Rate
Excellent (720-850)	4.99%
Good (660-719)	7.99%
Fair (600-659)	10.99%
Poor (Below 600)	13.99%

Worked Example

Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $25,000 car with a $5,000 down payment, 60-month loan term, and good credit (7.99% interest rate).

Example Calculation

Principal (P) = $25,000 - $5,000 = $20,000

Monthly Interest Rate (r) = 7.99% / 12 ≈ 0.00666

Number of Payments (n) = 60

Monthly Payment = $20,000 × (0.00666(1 + 0.00666)^60) / ((1 + 0.00666)^60 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $382.50

This example shows an estimated monthly payment of $382.50 for this scenario. Your actual payment may vary based on your specific circumstances.
