What is a loan?
A loan calculator helps estimate the cost of repaying a fixed-rate installment loan. Enter the amount borrowed, annual interest rate and term to see a consistent monthly payment and the total interest over the full schedule. Fees, variable rates and lender-specific rules are not included.
Formula and calculation method
For a fixed-rate loan, payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n), where P is principal, r is the monthly rate and n is the number of payments.
