Frequently Asked Questions
How are car loan monthly payments calculated?
Monthly payments are calculated using the amortization formula: M = P × (r/12) / (1 - (1 + r/12)^-n), where P = principal, r = annual rate, n = number of months.
What's the difference between APR and nominal rate?
The nominal rate is the base interest rate. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes all fees: insurance, administration, guarantees, showing the true cost of credit.
What's the minimum down payment for a car loan?
Typically 10-20% of the vehicle price. A higher down payment reduces monthly payments and improves rate conditions.
What car loan duration should I choose?
Between 24 and 72 months depending on your budget. Short term = high payments but low total cost. Long term = low payments but high total cost.
Can I pay off a car loan early?
Yes, law allows early repayment. Penalties may apply (max 1% of remaining capital if >12 months, 0.5% if <12 months).
