Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about loans and our calculator

How is the monthly payment calculated?

The monthly payment is calculated using the standard loan amortization formula: P = [r * PV] / [1 - (1 + r)^-n], where P is the monthly payment, r is the monthly interest rate, PV is the loan amount, and n is the total number of payments.

What's the difference between fixed and variable interest rates?

A fixed interest rate remains the same throughout the loan term, providing predictable payments. A variable interest rate can change over time based on market conditions, which means your payments could increase or decrease.

Should I choose a shorter or longer loan term?

A shorter loan term means higher monthly payments but less total interest paid over the life of the loan. A longer term has lower monthly payments but you'll pay more in total interest. Consider your budget and financial goals when choosing a term.

Can I calculate loans with extra payments?

Our calculator focuses on standard loan calculations. For loans with extra payments, you would need a more advanced amortization calculator that can account for additional payments and their impact on the loan term and total interest.

Does the calculator account for fees and insurance?

This calculator provides estimates based on principal and interest only. It does not include additional costs like origination fees, insurance, or taxes that may be part of your actual loan payment.
