Additional Resources |
Annual Interest Rate (%)
This is the annual interest rate on the automobile loan. This is not the APR, which takes into account other costs associated with the loan.Monthly Car Loan Payment ($ / Month)
This is the monthly payment necessary to repay the car loan over its lifetime. This calculator provides the user with two monthly loan payments: one for the standard financing arrangement, and a second for your biweekly loan.Biweekly Car Loan ($ / 2 Weeks)
With a biweekly car loan, you are making payments every two weeks. But keep in mind that you are making 26 payments each year, which are more than 2 payments x 12 months. With this type of loan, your biweekly payment will be exactly half of your standard monthly payment.Term of Standard Loan (Months)
This is the term, or length, of the standard loan, stated in months.Term of Biweekly Loan (Months)
One of the advantages of biweekly car loan payments is the fact that you are making 26 payments each year, rather than 24. These additional payments will reduce the length of your loan. This portion of the calculator will tell you how long you have to make those biweekly payments before the loan will be paid in full.Biweekly Savings (Months)
This is how many months you save by switching to biweekly loan payments.Total Payments ($)
This is the total amount paid to the bank, or lending institution, over the life of the car loan. Once again there are two values calculated, one for the standard loan, and one for the biweekly auto loan.Total Interest Savings ($)
This is the total value that a biweekly automobile loan delivers in terms of total interest charges for this loan. By choosing this type of payback arrangement, you are accelerating payments, shortening the term of the loan, and thereby reducing the borrowing costs.Biweekly Car Loan Calculator
