How this estimate works
This tool answers a specific question: if you add this car to your current month, how much money would you still have left? It subtracts your current expenses and an all-in monthly car cost from take-home income.
The all-in cost includes the estimated loan payment plus fuel, insurance, maintenance, registration, parking, and tolls. You can leave those ownership items at the example values or open Fine-tune your estimate and replace them with your own.
Example
The form above starts with the same example: take-home income of ₱85,000, current expenses of ₱32,000, and a ₱1,200,000 car with ₱240,000 down, financed over 60 months at a 12% example rate. The tool estimates the loan, adds ownership costs (about ₱30,071 all-in), then shows about ₱22,929 remaining. If you keep ₱10,000 as a target buffer, it also shows the take-home income that would be needed to preserve that buffer.
Read the methodology for the financing formula and why every default is an assumption. The disclaimer explains the limits of these estimates.
Questions people ask
Does this tell me if a bank will approve my car loan?
No. SaktoPara estimates monthly cost and remaining money from the numbers you enter. It does not check credit, compute a bank's debt-burden ratio, or provide loan approval guidance.
Why is the result not just the monthly amortization?
The loan is only one part of owning a car. Fuel, insurance, maintenance, registration, parking, and tolls can change whether the car still fits your month.
Are the default interest rate and fuel numbers official?
No. Defaults are labeled as editable example assumptions. Change them to match a quote, your driving, or your own estimates.
What financing method does SaktoPara use?
A standard fully amortizing reducing-balance formula. Some Philippine auto loans are advertised with add-on interest, which is a different method and is not used here.
