Estimates only. Interest is assumed to accrue monthly on a standard fixed-rate loan. Some loans use pre-computed interest, which can reduce your savings. Ask your lender for an official payoff quote.

What This Calculator Is

It is an early auto payoff calculator for a fixed-rate loan. You enter the original loan terms, the payments you have made, and when you plan to pay off the rest. It returns the cash needed, the interest avoided, and your net savings after fees.

What It Is For

Use this auto loan calculator to pay off early when you are deciding whether to clear the loan now or wait. The earlier you pay off, the more interest you avoid, because early payments are mostly interest. Some lenders charge a fee or use pre-computed interest, which can shrink your savings, so the early auto loan payoff result is only as good as the details you enter. It is not a substitute for your lender’s official payoff quote.

How to Use It

  1. Find your loan contract. Enter the amount financed, APR, and term in months.
  2. Enter how many payments you have made, and how many months from now you plan to pay off the loan.
  3. Add any payoff or prepayment fee listed in your contract.
  4. Check the net savings. Then ask your lender for an official payoff quote before you send money.
