How To Calculate Your Monthly RV Payment
In order to calculate your estimated monthly RV payment, you’ll need to know a few basic numbers, including:
- The total loan amount (the price of the RV minus your down payment and any trade-ins or incentives).
- The APR (annual percentage rate) or interest rate. (i.e. the cost of borrowing)
- The loan term (how many months you will be repaying the loan over).
Those numbers will give you the total principal and interest for the RV loan, which you’ll then divide by the length to get your estimated monthly payments.
You can play around with numbers in the calculator above to figure out what sort of financing will make the most sense for your budget.
We’ll break down each of the fields in the calculator above so you can better understand what goes into your monthly payment calculation.
