Free online loan & mortgage calculator
This loan calculator estimates your monthly payment, the total amount you will repay, and the total interest over the life of a loan. Enter the loan amount, the annual interest rate, and the term — in years or months — and the numbers update instantly.

How to calculate your loan payment
- Enter the loan amount (the principal you are borrowing).
- Enter the annual interest rate as a percentage, such as 6.5.
- Enter the loan term and pick Years or Months.
- Read your estimated monthly payment, total repaid, and total interest.
- Click Copy to save the monthly payment figure for your records.
Understanding the results
The monthly payment is the fixed amount you pay each month, covering both interest and principal. The total of all payments is that figure multiplied by the number of months in the term, and the total interest is how much more than the loan amount you end up paying. A lower rate or a shorter term reduces the interest cost, while a longer term lowers the monthly payment but usually increases total interest.
