How to Use This Car Refinance Calculator

Enter your current loan balance, interest rate, and remaining term. Then enter the new loan offer details including rate, term, and any fees. The calculator compares both scenarios.

Understanding Car Refinance Loans

Auto loan refinancing replaces your current loan with a new one, ideally at a lower rate. Consider the remaining balance, rate difference, and fees to determine if refinancing makes sense.

Tips for Getting the Best Car Refinance Rate

Shop around with multiple lenders including credit unions. Apply to several lenders within 14-45 days so multiple inquiries count as one for credit scoring. Consider the total cost, not just monthly payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Consider refinancing if rates have dropped significantly, your credit has improved, or you need lower monthly payments. The savings should outweigh any refinancing fees.
