How to Calculate

The Loan Interest Calculator supports three repayment methods: 1. Equal Payment (P&I): Same monthly payment (principal + interest) 2. Equal Principal: Same principal each month + interest on remaining balance 3. Bullet: Pay interest only each month, repay principal at maturity Formula (Equal Payment): Monthly = P x r x (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1) (P: principal, r: monthly rate, n: months)

Example

Principal: $100,000, Rate: 4%, Term: 360 months (30 years) Equal Payment: Monthly: ~$477 Total Payment: ~$171,870 Total Interest: ~$71,870

FAQ

Which repayment method saves the most interest?
Equal Principal repayment results in less total interest, but higher initial payments. Equal Payment provides consistent monthly amounts for easier budgeting.
How does early repayment affect the loan?
This calculator shows the standard repayment schedule. Early repayment reduces the remaining principal, which lowers total interest paid.
