Try: Car price=28000, Down payment=2000, Trade-in value=6000, APR=5.9, Term=5 → $28,000, $2,000, $6,000, $20,000, $386, $3,144

How to use

Your trade-in reduces the amount you finance. The loan principal becomes price − down payment − trade-in value, which directly cuts the monthly payment.

Formula

Loan = price − down − trade-in, then the standard PMT formula.

FAQ

Does trade-in lower my payment?

Yes — every dollar of trade-in is a dollar you do not borrow.

What if trade-in exceeds price?

Then no loan is needed; the dealer owes you the difference.
