How this calculator works

M = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n)

P
the amount borrowed, including any financed fee
r
the monthly interest rate
n
the number of monthly payments

Important considerations

  • Early repayment charges are not modelled — check your agreement before overpaying.
  • Fees and insurance products added by the lender change the true cost.

Frequently asked questions

Does paying extra each month help much?

Yes. Extra payments reduce the balance directly, so all future interest is charged on a smaller amount and the loan ends earlier.
