I think people are saying your total annual car payment should be no more than 10% of your annual income.

So $55,000 car with a 60 month car loan would be roughly $11,000 a year.. So your annual income would be around $110,000 if you budget 10%. Obviously i'm not including insurance, gas, & maintenance which should be factored in.

Is that the logic the OP was thinking?
Gotcha...that makes more sense to break the loan amount per year
