Auto Loan LTV Calculator — FAQs

What's a good car LTV?

Under 80% — cars lose ~20% in year one, so high-LTV loans go underwater immediately. GAP insurance covers the gap if the car is written off.

What LTV do auto lenders allow?

Most allow 100–125% LTV (covering tax/fees rolled in). Above 125% typically requires a larger down payment.
