Frequently Asked Questions about the Free Loan Calculator

What is the free Loan Calculator?

Which browsers are supported?

What formula does the loan calculator use?

The calculator uses the standard fixed-rate amortisation formula: M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1], where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n is the number of monthly payments. This is the formula used by banks for most consumer loans.

Does this calculator account for fees, insurance, or balloon payments?

No — it calculates pure principal-and-interest repayments. Real loan costs often include origination fees, insurance premiums, and other charges that your lender will detail in the loan agreement. Use this tool to estimate and compare; always check the final terms with your lender.

How do I reduce the total interest I pay?

Three approaches: (1) make a larger down payment to reduce the principal, (2) choose a shorter term — halving the term roughly halves the total interest even if the monthly payment is higher, (3) negotiate a lower rate. Even a 1–2% rate difference makes a significant difference over a multi-year term.
