Background
Cars in Singapore carry costs found almost nowhere else, including the Certificate of Entitlement and the Additional Registration Fee. Loans are capped at 60% or 70% of the price depending on the car's Open Market Value, and the maximum tenure is seven years.
Calculators make it easy to compare scenarios side by side: a shorter tenure versus a lower instalment, a higher deposit versus more cash in hand, or paying down debt versus investing. Seeing the total cost, not just the monthly figure, usually makes the better choice obvious.
