Student Loan ni nini?

A student loan calculator estimates monthly payments, total repayment, and total interest under different repayment plans for UK (Plan 1, 2, 4, Postgraduate) or US (Standard, IBR, PAYE) student loans.

P
Principal loan amount ($)
r
Monthly interest rate (annual%/12)
n
Number of payments (months)
M
Monthly payment ($)
