Truck Payment Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate your monthly truck payments. To use it, fill in the truck price, down payment, loan term, interest rate, sales tax rate, and any extra fees, then click “Calculate”.
How It Works
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate your monthly payments:
Monthly Payment = (Principal + Interest + Sales Tax + Fees) / Loan Term where Principal = Truck Price - Down Payment Interest = Principal * (Interest Rate / 100 / 12) * Loan Term Sales Tax = Truck Price * (Sales Tax Rate / 100) Fees = Extra Fees
Note: The formula assumes a simple interest loan and does not account for compound interest or other potential charges by the lender.
