Estimate repayments, total interest and the full cost of a loan.
Calculate monthly payments and total interest on a loan
A loan repayment is made up of principal and interest. Early repayments are mostly interest, which is why the total cost of a loan is often far higher than the amount borrowed. Seeing total interest before you sign is the point of this calculator.
Using the amortisation formula, which spreads principal and interest evenly across the term. Each repayment covers the interest accrued for that period, and the remainder reduces the principal.
Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, which is highest at the start. As the principal falls, the interest portion shrinks and more of each repayment reduces the balance.
