Car Affordability Calculator — Spain
Check whether a car fits your budget: income, expenses, deposit and running costs. For Spain drivers this uses real local figures where we have them — a ITV costs about €45 per test and annual IVTM (circulation tax) is around €60 per year. Prices default to EUR and litres per 100 km.

Why cost of ownership matters
The purchase price is only the beginning. Fuel or electricity, insurance, IVTM (circulation tax), the ITV, servicing, tyres, repairs and depreciation together usually cost more than the car itself over a few years. Use this tool to see the full picture before you buy.
How to use this calculator
Enter realistic figures for your situation — what you actually pay for insurance, what you expect to drive in a year — and the tool breaks the total down into monthly, weekly, yearly and per-distance costs. Adjust any figure and the results update instantly.
Frequently asked questions
How much car can I afford?
Enter your income, regular expenses, deposit and expected running costs, and the tool shows what fits per month and per year in EUR without leaving you stretched.
Does it include running costs?
Yes — and that is the point. Fuel or electricity, insurance, IVTM (circulation tax), the ITV, servicing and depreciation are usually more than the monthly payment, so a car that looks affordable on finance alone can still be too expensive.
What should the deposit be?
There is no single figure that suits everyone. Try your real numbers: the tool recalculates instantly, so you can see what a larger deposit does to the monthly cost before you negotiate.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is an estimate based on the figures you enter, for planning only. Check current rates and your own budget before signing anything.
Estimate only: results depend entirely on the inputs. Prices and rates change; check current official sources before committing.
