About Auto Loan Refinance Calculator
The Auto Loan Refinance Calculator calculates how much money you save on monthly car payments and total financing interest by refinancing an existing auto loan at a lower APR.
Formula & Mathematical Calculation
Monthly Savings = Current Car Payment - New Refinanced Car Payment
Total Savings = ( Current Payment × Remaining Months ) - ( New Payment × New Months )
Calculation Example
Example: $22,000 balance @ 9.5% with 48 months left ($553.11/mo). Refinancing to 5.5% for 48 months ($512.21/mo) → Saves $40.90/month and $1,963 in total interest.
