    I need to know how to calculate interest with weekly and bi-weekly payments to auto loans. Rule 72 if possible. Can you help?

    But how about the per diem? On the financial bank contract for the vehicle loan?

    thank you for the video. I operate a small business and have a few equipment loans (with different $ and %) I wanted to see which of the loans I should contribute more to so I can pay less interest in the long run. Any calculators out there that could help? Thanks!

      There are but it’s a simple rule. Payoff the one with the highest interest rate first. That is mathematically the fastest.

      Would that be true if he is in the last year of one loan and in the 1st of another?
      Wouldn’t the loan with one year left be mostly principal payment anyway and the first year loan be mostly interest?

    Yeah.....havent bought a new vehicle in many years and just got a 2023 Frontier a week ago. Interest rates are pretty crazy right now. I got 6.23% which I don't like but ive been hearing about a lot higher right now. I have a 5 year loan for the truck. Would love to pay it off at least a year faster. There seems to be a dance between trying to shave time off the loan and also saving money on interest. I was wanting to throw a extra 200 bucks a month on top of my payment and pay it off early and maybe save on paying so much interest as well.

    • @TravisSickle

      paying that extra is a smart move.

      You probably know this, but if you are paying an extra $200 a month make sure you specify to your bank that you want it to go to the principle amount and not just towards another payment. If you just submit an extra 200 then it will be going towards next months interest and principle which is good, but if you have it go to principle only then it will knock off a lot more principle faster resulting in less interest being paid overall and saving you money. Plenty of YT vids on it explaining it better. You may have already known this, but maybe someone else will read it who didn't and may help them. :)

    Just purchased a 24 bronco due in part to desperation and the dealership financing me. My cs was 570 in December of last year and is now 614 due to some previous acct pay offs.
    My rate is 14% for 70 months??? What was i thinking!!! Any suggestions out there ?

    I need help with interest because in my math project you need to calculate payment for simple interest and compound interest :C and then we will need to say which is better

    • @Bella-uf2oy

      it is like your problem but you need to slove it with simple and compound interest

    • @TravisSickle
      @TravisSickle  ปีที่แล้ว

      Simple interest uses the original amount to calculate the interest, whereas, compound adds the interest to the next calculation.

    If I have a load on 26k with an interest of 14.85% what would be the monthly payment ? I’ve done the math and it doesn’t add to my payment

    • @youngla1475

      thats a very very high interest rate !! get quotes from different credits unions. dont finance with dealers they will like about the interest rate to make an extra buck. even if the union gave you a 8-9 interest rate they will bump it up to make a profit.!

    • @elgicko

      Holy Sh1t! That's a high interest rate. I would say your monthly payment is TOO MUCH!! Look around to switch to lower interest rate!

      When should I look at interest rate versus the APR? I’m trying to find the interest rate on my car loan and I can’t seem to find the interest rate in my documents. Only the APR, which is 8.76% on a $39,481 loan.

      Let’s say you took a 60 month term, you’re looking at around $615 a month with 11k of that entire loan going towards interest. Yeah, that rate is atrocious..
