How the car loan refinance compare works

This calculator compares your current auto loan against up to four refinance quotes in one table. Enter what you owe today, your current payment and APR, then add each refi offer’s rate, term, and optional fees. We compute the new payment and total cost from today forward so you can see whether a lower payment still saves money overall.

For the amount being refinanced, use your payoff quote if you have one — it is often slightly higher than the remaining balance because of daily interest. If you only have the balance, that works too. Fees such as origination or title costs are rolled into the new loan for the total-cost comparison and used for a simple break-even estimate when the new payment is lower.

The lowest monthly payment and the lowest total cost can be different offers. A longer term almost always lowers the payment but can cost more in interest over time. Use the comparison table to see both before you apply.

Frequently asked questions

What is a payoff quote?

A payoff quote is the exact amount your lender needs to close the loan today, often called a 10-day payoff. It is usually a little higher than your remaining balance because interest accrues daily.

Should I use my balance or payoff amount for a refi?

Use the payoff quote when you have it — that is what the new lender needs to pay off the old loan. If you only see a remaining balance, start there; the difference is usually small for planning.

Why can a lower payment still cost more overall?

Spreading the same balance over more months lowers each payment but adds interest. A 72-month refi can beat your current payment and still cost thousands more than a shorter offer.

What fees should I enter?

Include lender origination fees, title fees, or other closing costs you would roll into the new loan. Leave fees at $0 if the quote already reflects a net amount or you are comparing payment only.
