Read More »Figuring out the best way to fit a car purchase into your budget is key to making sure you buy an affordable set of wheels. The 20/4/10 rule of thumb for car buying is one way to quickly narrow down your vehicle options when you’re preparing to finance a new car. Here’s how the rule works so you can figure out how to apply it to your own finances, plus some insight on when it might make sense to bend the rules to fit your circumstances. Key Takeaways The 20/4/10 rule of thumb for car buying helps you shop for a vehicle that will fit your budget. The rule is to make a 20% down payment on a four-year car loan and spend no more than 10% of your monthly income on transportation expenses. Because your credit score affects the size of your monthly payment, you may need to buy less car if you have a lower credit score. Some car buyers may need to adjust the numbers slightly to better fit their budgets.

Read More »For most people, the 20/4/10 rule is a simple enough guide to stick to for car shopping. Understanding your budget in advance gives you more negotiating power when you're shopping around. Using our example from earlier, someone who makes $75,000 a year and sets aside 10% of their monthly income—$750—for transportation costs. As auto loan interest rates—and therefore, your monthly payment—hinge on your credit score, they also impact your car loan amount. For example, a car buyer with a very good or excellent credit score of 720 to over 800, could qualify for a low annual percentage rate (APR). On the other end of the spectrum, a car buyer with a low credit score, between 500 and 589, may qualify for an APR that's four times as high as someone with excellent credit. Here's how credit scores translate to your car-buying decision. Sticking to a monthly car payment of no more than $540 means a person with an excellent credit score could borrow $24,000 and manage a total vehicle purchase price of $30,000 (including the 20% down payment). On the other hand, buying with a low credit score could limit you to a loan of around $20,000 and a total vehicle price of $25,000. Furthermore, the car buyer with the low credit score could ultimately pay around four times the interest on a four-year loan as a buyer with excellent credit who purchases a more expensive vehicle with a four-year loan. Note You can use a car loan calculator to plug in your own numbers including your credit score to determine your potential interest rate and monthly car loan payment.

Learn More »According to vehicle valuation and information source Kelley Blue Book, the average cost of a new car in October 2022 was around $48,000. Assuming your gas and insurance costs are $400 a month, you would need a monthly income of $12,540—or $150,480 per year—to stick to the 20/4/10 rule, even if you have excellent credit. Adjusting your budget is another option for affording the monthly payment on a new car, if your other monthly expenses are low. If this is the case, you can increase the 10% part of the rule, allowing you to afford a car with a higher price tag.
