Car Savings Calculator

I've created a second 'calculator-like' program, this time using the JOptionPane rather than typing in the console. At the moment the code looks to have a lot of repetition so I'm looking to simplify it; any advice and suggestions would be great!

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class SaveCalc {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    //Text prompts to collect data
    String carCost = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is the total cost of the car?");
    
    String insCost = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is the yearly cost of the insurance?");
    
    String manCost = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How much would you like to save for maintenance?");
    
    String saveMonth = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How much will you be saving each month?");
    
    
    //Converts string inputs to Doubles
    double carCostP = Double.parseDouble(carCost);
    double insCostP = Double.parseDouble(insCost);
    double manCostP = Double.parseDouble(manCost);
    double saveMonthP = Double.parseDouble(saveMonth);
                    
    //Calculates the total cost and the months to save
    double costTotal = carCostP + insCostP + manCostP;
    double months = costTotal / saveMonthP;
    
    //Converts the months value to an integer
    int monthsP = (int) months;
    
    System.out.printf
    ("With a saving of \u00A3%5.2f each month and a total cost of \u00A3%5.2f it will take " 
    + monthsP 
    + " months to save up.",saveMonthP,costTotal);
}

}
