How is car loan interest calculated?

Our calculation device empowers vehicle buyers to get their own finance estimates, compare their options and support decision making. Find out how much your loan will cost each month, bi-weekly, or each week, for different borrowing amounts. Find out how much total interest you will be paying on a loan at different rates, for different amounts, and over different repayment terms. The device is an amortisation calculator in that it spreads the repayment of the amount borrowed and the interest over the term of the loan. Repayments reduce both the principal, and the interest payable. As more repayments are finalised, the less is owed on the loan. The total amount of interest payable on a loan is determined by the interest rate, the loan amount and the term of the loan. Buyers can work out the total interest they would pay on different amounts at different rates over different terms, using the calculator.

For example, a $30,000 car loan at an interest rate of 6.75%, taken over 5 years, attracts monthly repayments of $591 pm. The total interest payable on that loan is $5430.

Loan Terms

The term is the time you have to repay the loan. Terms of 1-7 years are available. The term affects the payments and total interest. Shorter terms mean higher payments but less total interest. Longer terms mean lower payments but higher total interest. Change the term to set your preference and compare your options.

Total Interest

The calculator displays the total amount of interest which will accrue on your loan over the repayment term. This is significant as it reflects the real cost of the vehicle purchase. Varying the borrowing total, interest rate, repayment schedule, and loan term, changes the total interest. Decide which combination works best for your budget.

Repayment Schedule

Car loans can be repaid weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Enter the repayment frequency that works best with your budget and income cycle. The schedule is important as it can affect your cash flow and affects the total interest on the loan. More frequent payments reduce the amount owed faster with less interest payable.
