Car Affordability Calculator

Financial experts recommend keeping total transportation costs (payment, insurance, fuel, maintenance) under 20% of your monthly take-home pay.

Excellent credit (750+) can get rates as low as 3-5%, while poor credit (below 600) may face rates of 15-20% or higher, significantly increasing total cost.

Used cars are typically better value since new cars depreciate 20-30% in the first year. A 2-3 year old certified pre-owned vehicle often offers the best balance of reliability and value.
