Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online loan calculator.
The tool uses the standard amortisation formula, which spreads the amount borrowed plus
interest into equal monthly payments across the term.
Total interest is everything you pay above the amount borrowed. It is the monthly payment
multiplied by the number of payments, minus the loan amount.
A higher annual rate increases both the monthly payment and the total interest, even when the
term stays the same.
A longer term lowers the monthly payment but raises the total interest, because you borrow
the money for longer.
The rate you enter is an annual percentage rate. The tool divides it by twelve to obtain the
monthly rate.
It shows, for each year of the loan, how much of your payments went to interest, how much
reduced the balance, and the balance remaining.
