Frequently asked questions

What is the car sales tax in Illinois?

Illinois charges about 6.25% on vehicle purchases (state rate — Chicago-area local taxes add more). On a $32,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,000.

What does a typical car payment look like in Illinois?

Should I roll sales tax into the loan?

You can, but you will pay interest on the tax for the life of the loan. Paying tax, title, and fees in cash keeps the loan smaller and avoids starting underwater.
