What it is for
The Cash Vs Finance Calculator estimates a financial outcome so you can compare scenarios before making a decision.
How it is calculated
Compute the amortizing monthly loan payment from price, rate and term, then multiply by the number of months. Subtract the cash price to estimate financing cost above cash.
Assumptions
Taxes, fees, inflation, rate changes, and product terms are not included unless the inputs account for them.
Example
Worked example — Cash price / amount financed: $25000; Annual financing rate: 6%; Financing term (years): 5. Total financed cost: $28,999.20229; Financing cost above cash price: $3,999.202294.
Limitations
This is not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Confirm terms with official documents and a qualified professional.
