Lenders tightened underwriting in early 2026. Use the table below to benchmark a fair APR by credit tier, then plug those numbers into the calculator above.
| Credit Tier | New Car APR | Used Car APR | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 720+ | 4.9% - 5.9% | 5.4% - 6.4% | Best rates from credit unions & captive lenders. |
| 660 - 719 | 6.2% - 7.8% | 7.1% - 8.9% | Add 0.5% if LTV > 110% or term > 72 months. |
| 600 - 659 | 8.4% - 10.9% | 9.8% - 12.4% | Expect down payment requirements + shorter terms. |
| Sub-600 | 12% - 19% | 15% - 23% | Special finance programs. Bring proof of income and residency. |
Tip: knock 0.25% - 0.50% off these numbers if you bank with the lender, set up auto-pay, or keep the term at 48 months or less. Want to refinance later? Run the calculator with your target APR to see how much a refi could save.
Dealership incentives, EV tax credits, and repo rates all shifted this year. Use this quick guide to interpret your calculator results.

Add the amount you still owe on your trade to the doc fee line (or reduce trade value). That rolls it into the new loan.
If the warranty cost is $2,000, it adds roughly $35/mo on a 60-month loan. Decide if that’s worth it versus saving cash.
If you took a high APR but your credit improved within 12 months, run the numbers with a lower APR to see the savings.
