What is a typical car loan term?

Common terms run 36 to 84 months. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but increases total interest paid.

Is the calculator my actual payment?

How your Chevy or Buick payment is calculated

Four numbers drive the payment. The price minus your down payment and trade equity is what you finance. Pennsylvania adds 6% sales tax (7% in Allegheny County) on the price after your trade-in, which is why a trade lowers your tax as well as your loan. The APR and the term then set the monthly figure, longer terms lower the monthly payment but raise total interest.
