About this tool

Estimate the cost of a fixed-rate loan

Amortized loans use a level scheduled payment while the mix of interest and principal changes over time. Early payments generally contain more interest because the outstanding balance is larger.

Enter an optional extra monthly amount to model faster principal reduction. The estimate covers principal and interest only; lender fees, insurance, taxes, changing rates, and prepayment rules are not included.

How it works

Estimate a loan in three steps

  1. 1Enter loan details

    Add the principal, annual rate, and term.

  2. 2Model extra payment

    Optionally add a recurring amount applied toward principal.

  3. 3Review amortization

    See payment, total interest, payoff time, and yearly balances.

Common questions

Loan Calculator FAQ

What does the monthly payment include?

It includes estimated principal and interest only, plus the optional extra payment.

How do extra payments help?

Extra principal reduces the balance sooner, which can shorten the term and reduce later interest.

Does this support adjustable rates?

No. The projection assumes one fixed annual rate for the entire term.
