FAQs

1. Is this calculator’s result 100% accurate?

Our calculator provides highly accurate estimates based on the standard financial formulas. However, the results should be considered for informational purposes only. Your lender might include additional fees (like origination fees, insurance, or taxes) that are not factored into this calculation. Always consult your official loan document for the exact figures.

2. How is the monthly payment calculated?

We use the standard loan amortization formula: M = P [ i(1 + i)^n / ((1 + i)^n – 1) ], where M is the monthly payment, P is the principal loan amount, i is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of payments.

3. Can I use this calculator for car loans and personal loans?

Yes! This calculator is versatile and can be used for any type of fixed-rate loan, including mortgages, auto loans, and personal loans. Simply enter the correct loan amount, interest rate, and term for your specific scenario.

4. Why does the interest portion of my payment decrease over time?

This is how amortization works. In the beginning of a loan, a larger portion of your payment goes toward interest because the outstanding balance is at its highest. As you pay down the principal balance, the amount of interest charged each month decreases, so a larger portion of your fixed monthly payment can go towards reducing the principal.

5. Is my financial data saved?

No. Your privacy is paramount. This tool operates entirely within your browser. We do not see, save, or store any of the financial data you enter. Once you close the page, the information is gone.
