What changes this most?
Depreciation can be one of the largest ownership costs even though it does not appear as a monthly bill.
Sensitivity check
A roughly 10% move in finance term changes the modeled headline result by up to $104 in this setup.
Depreciation and insurance are highly variable. Replace defaults with quotes or your own assumptions.

Formula
Finance, insurance, tax, energy/fuel, maintenance and straight-line equivalent depreciation are combined into one monthly ownership cost.
Finance uses standard amortisation. Depreciation is calculated from a user-entered annual percentage assumption and is not a resale-value guarantee.
Editable rates, growth assumptions, prices, fees, and percentages are planning inputs unless the calculator explicitly identifies a current source.
