Let’s Do Some Math
Auto Loan Calculator
If you’re considering an upgrade or are ready to purchase a new vehicle, start with our calculator to ensure you get a loan that fits your needs and budget. You can determine your monthly car payment based on the purchase price. You can also choose a monthly payment that fits your budget and determine how much you can spend on your new vehicle. Dig into the details of different loan terms and down payments to see the impact and estimate how long it will take to pay off your loan.
Debt Consolidation Calculator
If you’re paying off various loans and credit cards, a consolidation loan at a lower rate might be a good choice. This calculator can help you decide. Fill in your loan amounts, credit card balances, and other outstanding debt, and you will see your monthly payment with a consolidated loan. Adjust your terms, loan type and rate until you find the loan that fits your needs and budget.
Savings Calculator
When building up savings and accumulating wealth, consistent investments over many years deliver returns. Even small additions, such as reoccurring transfers and direct deposits, keep the momentum going over time. Use our Savings Calculator to see how you can put this strategy to work and reap the benefits of compound interest.
Home Budget Calculator
Track expenses and monitor spending simply by entering your income and monthly payments. Where can you decrease discretionary spending? How can you grow your savings? This easy-to-use tool provides information you can use to improve your financial well-being.
Home Loan Calculator
Buying a home? Refinancing? No matter your mortgage needs, we are here to help. Find a loan that fits your budget and your life. If you got your current mortgage when interest rates were higher or want to shorten your term to save on interest, a refinance could be your answer. Use this calculator for guidance. Enter the specifics of your current mortgage, your property’s current appraised value, new loan term, rate and closing costs. You’ll see your reduced monthly payment, how much you can save in interest and how long it will take to break even on closing costs.
