How it works

Use this calculator to estimate whether refinancing a car loan could lower your payment or total cost.

What this calculator does

Formula

Monthly savings = current payment - new payment

Total savings = remaining current payments - total refinance payments

How to use it

Enter your current balance, current rate, months remaining, new rate, new term, and refinance fees.

Common mistakes

  • extending the term too far
  • ignoring fees
  • focusing only on monthly savings

FAQs
