Home / Car Loan Calculator

Car Loan Calculator

Estimate repayments on a loan for a car, ute or other vehicle, with an optional balloon payment. Adjust the amount, rate and term to see the effect on repayments and total interest.

Secured car loans

Most vehicle loans are secured against the vehicle. Lenders may consider the age and type of the vehicle, and terms and rates can differ between new and used vehicles.

Business or personal use

If the vehicle is used mainly for business, other structures such as a chattel mortgage may be an option. Speak to your accountant about the tax treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a balloon payment on a car loan?

A balloon lowers your regular repayments but increases the total interest, and you must pay it out or refinance it at the end of the term. It suits some situations and not others.

Does the age of the vehicle matter?

Often it does. Many lenders limit the age of the vehicle at the end of the loan term.

Can I finance a vehicle from a private seller?

Many lenders finance private sales, though requirements can differ from a dealer purchase.

Is the rate in the calculator the rate I will get?

No. The rate is an example only. Your rate depends on the lender, the vehicle, the term and your circumstances.
