Effective January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 The maximum rates available for the financing of vehicles in equal monthly installments are found in the Texas Finance Code, Section 348.104. That section specifies add-on rates for four classes of vehicle. The add-on rate is the actual dollars per hundred per year of finance charge calculated on the amount financed. The age of the vehicle determines the add-on rate to use. This chart converts the add-on rates to equivalent annualized percentage rates for contracts with substantially equal monthly payments. As an alternative to the add-on rates, Section 348.105 of the Texas Finance Code provides an alternate rate of 18%.

The 18% effective rate may also be used as an alternative rate for contracts with repayment terms that are not monthly and not substantially equal in amount. Caution: Do not confuse add-on rates with APRs. You cannot quote add-on rates to consumers. If the transactions are seller-financed sales tax transactions (sales tax deferred), the “contract rate” shown on the motor vehicle retail installment sales contract cannot exceed the equivalent annualized percentage rates shown below. Newer Vehicles Class 1 and 2 To make this chart simpler, conversions are omitted for Classes 1 and 2 because they result in rates less than the alternate rate of 18% provided by section 348.105 of the Texas Finance Code.
