Calculation Methodology

Taxable Vehicle Price = Car Price - Trade-in Value. Total Financed = Taxable Price + Sales Tax + Title/Doc Fees - Down Payment. Monthly Payment = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1].

Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer

Most US states allow a sales tax credit where sales tax is only paid on the difference between purchase price and trade-in value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most states charge sales tax only on the net purchase price after deducting the trade-in allowance (e.g. a $40k car with a $15k trade-in is taxed on $25k).
