Plan Your Loan Payments with Confidence

Before signing any loan agreement, know exactly what you'll pay each month. Our loan payment calculator helps you understand the true cost of borrowing, including total interest paid over the life of the loan, so you can make informed financial decisions.

How Loan Payments Work

A loan payment typically consists of two parts: principal (the original amount borrowed) and interest (the cost of borrowing). Most loans use amortization, where early payments go mostly toward interest, while later payments pay down more principal. Understanding this structure helps you see how extra payments can save thousands in interest and shorten your loan term significantly.

Monthly Payment Formula

M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
