How the car loan calculator works

To get started, you’ll need to input some details about the loan:

01
Interest Rate
Lenders consider your credit history, asset value, and loan term to determine your interest rate.
02
Loan Term
Loan term affects repayment length. Shorter terms mean higher repayments but less interest paid overall.
03
Deposit
Including a deposit can lower monthly payments or shorten the loan term, based on lender policies and your financial situation.

More on interest rates

When applying for a car loan, several factors influence the interest rate you’ll be offered. These include:

Credit Score

Credit score is a number that represents your creditworthiness. Lenders use it to assess the risk of lending to you. A higher score means lower interest rates and suggests you're more likely to repay the debt on time.

Loan-to-Value Ratio

The loan-to-value ratio (LVR) is the ratio of the loan amount to the value of an asset being purchased. A lower LVR means less risk for the lender since you're putting more of your own money into the purchase. This increases the likelihood of them being able to recover the outstanding balance of your loan if you default.

Loan Term

Loan term affects interest rate. Shorter terms have lower rates due to less risk for lender, while longer terms may have higher rates due to extended repayment period and increased risk.
