This calculator is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or an actual loan offer; final terms are set by each lender.
Applies the standard fixed-rate amortization formula to the full loan amount, regardless of what it's for: every monthly payment stays the same for the whole term, splitting principal and interest so the remaining balance reaches zero on the last payment.
Use cases
- Working out a car loan's monthly payment before signing at the dealership.
- Comparing a personal loan's payment against consolidating several debts into one.
- Estimating the total interest on a student loan or a home-renovation loan.

Technical details
Uses the standard amortization formula M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1], where P is the loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of monthly payments (years × 12).
Frequently asked questions
Does this work for any type of loan, not just mortgages?
Yes, the formula is the same for any fixed-rate loan with equal monthly payments, whether it's personal, auto, student or debt consolidation; it isn't built specifically for mortgages.
Does it account for origination fees or other costs?
No, the calculation only considers the amount, rate and term. Origination fees, add-on insurance or an APR that differs from the nominal rate can change the real payment.
