A loan payment calculator determines your fixed monthly payment using the amortization formula. Each payment covers accrued interest first, with the remainder reducing the principal. Early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal.
Guide étape par étape
- 1Determine the principal P (amount borrowed)
- 2Convert annual rate to monthly: r = annual rate ÷ 12
- 3Set n = total number of monthly payments (years × 12)
- 4Apply: M = P × r(1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1)
- 5Total interest paid = (M × n) − P
