How to Use This Loan Calculator

Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate, and repayment term to instantly see your monthly payment, total interest paid, and a full amortization schedule showing exactly how each payment is divided between principal and interest.

Understanding your results

  • Monthly Payment — fixed amount due each month for the loan term
  • Total Interest — total cost above the principal you actually borrowed
  • Amortization — early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal

Tips for Borrowing Smart

The true cost of a loan depends on both the interest rate and the loan term. A longer term means lower monthly payments but significantly more total interest paid.

  • Compare the total interest cost, not just the monthly payment
  • Use the rate comparison table to evaluate multiple lender offers
  • Extra principal payments early in the loan yield the biggest interest savings
