What it does

A loan calculator estimates your monthly payment from the loan amount, annual interest rate, and term, then shows how much interest you will pay in total. Add an extra monthly payment to see how much faster you can pay off the loan and how much interest you save.

How to use

1. Enter the loan details

Type the loan amount, annual interest rate, and term in years or months.

2. Add extra payments (optional)

Enter an extra amount to pay each month and see the payoff shorten.

3. Review the schedule

Check the yearly breakdown of principal vs interest paid.

Limitations

Results are estimates using standard amortization math. Actual loans may include fees, taxes, insurance, or variable rates not covered here. This is a calculation tool, not financial advice.

FAQ

How is the monthly payment calculated?

With the standard amortization formula: the loan amount times the monthly rate, adjusted for the number of payments. The same math banks use for fixed-rate loans.

Do extra payments really save that much?

Yes. Extra payments go directly against principal, which shrinks the balance that interest is charged on. Even a small extra amount shortens the loan noticeably.

Does this include taxes or insurance?

No. This covers principal and interest only. Real mortgage payments often add tax and insurance on top.
