How to use Cash Back or Low Interest Calculator

Add the competing offer details, and the calculator will estimate which option leaves you with the lower overall cost under the payoff schedule you expect.

What this calculator is for

This calculator is for dealership or retailer financing offers that trade a rebate against a subsidized rate. It helps cut through sales framing by comparing the actual dollar effect of each incentive structure.

Tips

The best option depends on how long you expect to carry the balance, so use a payoff period that matches your real plan.
If the rebate can be used as a down payment, think about whether reducing the financed amount changes the comparison further.
