Running Costs (Fuel/Tolls/Parking/Misc)

Comprehensive Insurance

LTO / Registration

For used cars, LTO transfer and first-year insurance costs shown are estimates and can vary by vehicle, location, and insurer. CTPL and emission are paid at renewal; they are not split monthly.
PMS (Maintenance)
Sell/Trade Without Owing the Bank (Equity Timing)
This estimates the earliest year & month you can sell/trade without owing the bank, comparing market value to payoff (remaining principal + pre-termination). “Quick sale” simulates a dealer lowball.
Status Quo Transport & Emergency Fund
Emergency Fund covers job loss/medical so you don’t miss 2–3 payments. Aim for 3–6 months of essential outflow.
