Sales tax will be calculated for you and included in your total after tax price. Term in months Number of months for this loan. Interest rate Annual interest rate for this loan. Rebates and Cash down Total amount of cash and/or factory rebates used in this purchase. The larger your cash down payment the smaller the loan you will need to finance this purchase. Trade allowance The total amount that you are given for any automobile that you trade-in as part of this purchase. In some states a trade-in can also reduce the amount of sales tax you will owe. See the definition for "Sales tax deduction for trade-in" for more information on trade-in vehicles and sales tax. Amount owed on trade Total loan balance still outstanding on the trade-in. Non-taxable fees (optional) Any additional fee that is not subject to sales tax. This usually includes document fees or any other fees that may be due at delivery and are not taxable.

In addition, Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon have no sales tax on autos.
