Figuring out Loan Repayments

Everyone seems flooded with personal loan ads these days, and immediate credit seems more accessible than ever. With personal loans, you can receive a big sum of money upfront and pay the lender back over time. You'll need to determine a repayment plan for it, which our tool will assist you with. If you find any difficulty in using the tool initially, you can also use the sample values available in the tool.

We aim to make our user's experience as convenient as we can. The tool is really simple to use as it requires input values for the Total Loan Amount that you are receiving, Loan Term in Months, and Interest Rate per Year. Upon providing these, the tool calculates the exact Monthly payment figures, Total Cost of Loan, and Total Interest you will pay over that time.

By giving you a general idea of potential loan payback amounts, you can then feel better informed when taking out a personal loan.

FAQ's:

Here are some common questions that you may have about our Loan Calculator

Q: Is this Loan Calculator based on Simple Interest or Compound Interest?

A: Our Loan Calculator is based on simple interest. Calculation of compound interest requires the compounding interval as well, which we haven't used for calculation.

Q: How do you calculate the monthly payments on a loan?

A: The formula used for calculation of monthly payment is :

                Monthly payment = [ r + r / ( (1+r) ^ months -1) ] x Total loan amount.

Where r is interest rate /(100*12).

Q: How do you calculate the total cost of loan?

A: The total cost of loan includes the interest to be paid, and it is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the total number of months.

Q: What is the formula for Compound Interest?

A: The formula used for calculation of Compound Interest is :

                 A = P* ( 1 + r / n ) ^ (n* t)

Where: A is the future value of the investment or loan, P = the principal investment or loan amount, r is the interest rate (decimal), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per period, and t is the number of periods the money is invested for.

Q: How do you calculate the total interest?

A: Total interest paid is calculated by subtracting the loan amount from the total cost of loan actually paid.
