About Loan Calculator

What this tool does

Loan Calculator works out your monthly payment, total interest and full amortization schedule from the amount, rate and term.

How to use it

  • Enter the loan amount, annual interest rate and term.
  • See the monthly payment and totals.
  • Review the year-by-year amortization schedule.

How it works

It uses the standard amortizing-loan formula to derive a fixed monthly payment, then builds the schedule showing how each payment splits between interest and principal.

Important considerations

  • Estimates assume a fixed rate and equal monthly payments; fees and variable rates aren't included.
