How loan payments are calculated

Payment, interest, and payoff all move together

A loan payment is based on principal, rate, and term. Higher rates and longer terms generally increase total interest, while extra payments usually shorten payoff time.

Payment

Standard amortized loan payment formula

Total Interest

Total Paid − Loan Amount

Extra Payments

Higher payments usually reduce payoff time and total interest

Use this before taking out a personal, auto, or business loan so you know what the recurring payment looks like.

Comparison

See how a lower rate or shorter term can change both your payment and total interest paid.

Payoff

Check whether paying more each period can shorten the loan enough to save meaningful interest.
