Overview

A general-purpose loan calculator showing your monthly payment, total interest and full amortization schedule for any fixed-rate loan — with an optional extra monthly payment to see how much faster you'd pay it off and how much interest you'd save.

How to use it

  1. 1Enter the loan amount, annual interest rate and term.
  2. 2View the monthly payment and complete amortization table.
  3. 3Optionally enter an extra monthly payment to see the accelerated payoff time and interest saved.
  4. 4Adjust any field to instantly recalculate.

Formula

Monthly payment

M = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n − 1)

Same reducing-balance formula used for mortgages, auto loans and personal loans.

With an extra payment

Each month's principal portion increases by the extra amount, so the balance reaches zero before the original term ends.
