Car Loan Repayment Calculator – Plan Your Vehicle Financing with Confidence
Securing a car loan is a significant financial commitment, and understanding your repayment structure is essential for effective budgeting. Our Car Loan Repayment Calculator provides a detailed estimate of your weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments, helping you make informed decisions before committing to a vehicle loan.
How the Calculator Works
This tool utilizes standard financial formulas to calculate your repayment obligations based on the following inputs:
1. Enter Loan Details
- Loan Amount – The total amount you plan to borrow.
- Interest Rate – The annual interest rate offered by your lender.
- Loan Term – The duration of the loan in years.
- Repayment Frequency – Select weekly, fortnightly, or monthly payments.
2. Calculation Methodology
The calculator applies the loan amortization formula, which considers the loan amount, interest rate, and repayment frequency to determine the fixed repayment amount over the loan term. The calculation adjusts based on the repayment frequency to provide accurate results.
What the Results Show
After submitting your loan details, the calculator will display:
- Repayment Amount – The amount payable per week, fortnight, or month.
- Total Interest Paid – The cumulative interest paid over the loan term.
- Total Loan Cost – The overall amount repaid, including both principal and interest.
Additionally, a detailed amortization schedule breaks down each repayment, showing the principal and interest components as well as the remaining loan balance over time.

- Compare Loan Scenarios – Adjust loan terms and interest rates to find the best option.
- Budgeting Made Simple – Choose repayment frequencies that align with your income cycle.
