🏦 Loan Calculator

Calculate your monthly loan payment, total payment and interest instantly!

Loan payment method and assumptions

This calculator estimates equal monthly payments for a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan. It treats the annual rate as a nominal rate divided into monthly periods.

Worked example

For a $10,000 principal, 5.5% annual interest, and a five-year term, the monthly rate is 0.055 ÷ 12 and there are 60 payments. The estimated payment is about $191.01; totals can differ by a few cents because payments are rounded for display. A fractional-year term is rounded to the nearest whole month.

What is excluded

The estimate does not include origination fees, taxes, insurance, variable rates, payment-date effects, or lender-specific rounding. It is not a lender quote or financial advice. Compare the full annual percentage rate and written loan terms before borrowing.
