How to use the loan calculator

This is a fixed-rate, fully-amortizing loan calculator — the same math banks use for mortgages, auto loans, and most personal or student loans. Every monthly payment is the same; what changes over time is how much goes to interest vs. principal. Early on you're mostly paying interest; late in the term you're mostly paying down the balance.

  1. Enter the loan amount — the principal you're borrowing, after any down payment.
  2. Enter the annual interest rate (APR) as a percent, not a decimal. Use 6.5 for a 6.5% rate, not 0.065.
  3. Enter the term — either in years (30, 15, 5) or in months. The toggle switches the unit; the underlying math always uses months internally.
  4. Read the monthly payment, total interest paid over the life of the loan, and the total cost (principal + interest).
  5. Open the amortization schedule to see the month-by-month breakdown of interest, principal, and remaining balance.

The formula

M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1], where M is the monthly payment, P the principal, r the monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n the number of monthly payments.

What it does not include

Property tax, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, PMI, and points are not in this calculation. A real mortgage quote (PITI) will run higher than the payment shown here. Also not modeled: variable-rate loans, balloon payments, or any prepayment scheme. This tool is informational, not a loan offer.
