How to Use: Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate, and loan term in years. Select your preferred payment frequency (monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly). Click "Calculate Loan" to get instant results showing your payment amount, total interest, and complete amortization schedule. The tool displays both a summary of key loan metrics and a detailed breakdown of each payment over the loan term.

Understanding the Results: The calculator shows your regular payment amount, total interest paid over the loan term, and total amount paid. The amortization schedule breaks down each payment into principal and interest portions, showing how your remaining balance decreases over time. This helps you understand how early payments are mostly interest, while later payments are mostly principal.

Financial Planning Benefits: By understanding your complete payment schedule, you can plan your budget more effectively, consider making extra payments to reduce interest costs, and compare different loan offers. The calculator helps you see how changes in interest rates, loan terms, or payment frequency affect your total borrowing costs, empowering you to make smarter financial decisions.
