Complete Guide to Loan Calculations
Our loan calculator helps you understand the true cost of borrowing money. Enter your loan amount, interest rate, and term to instantly calculate your monthly payment, total interest paid, and see a complete amortization schedule.
How Monthly Payment is Calculated
Monthly payment = P ร [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1], where P = principal amount, r = monthly interest rate (annual rate รท 12), n = total number of payments.
Understanding Amortization
Each payment is split between principal and interest. Early payments are mostly interest. As the loan matures, more of each payment goes toward principal. The amortization schedule shows this breakdown for every payment period.
