How it works

We use the standard amortization formula: payment = A·i / (1 − (1+i)⁻ⁿ), where A is the amount, i the monthly rate and n the number of payments. Total interest is total payments minus the amount borrowed.

Tip: a shorter term means higher monthly payments but far less total interest.

FAQs

How is my monthly loan payment calculated?

With the amortization formula using your loan amount, monthly interest rate and number of payments.

How can I pay less interest?

Choose a shorter term, get a lower rate, or make extra principal payments to reduce total interest.

What is APR?

Annual Percentage Rate - the yearly cost of the loan including interest and certain fees.

Does this include fees?

No, it’s principal and interest only. Origination fees or insurance would add to the real cost.

No - it’s an estimate for planning. Confirm exact terms with your lender.
