How to calculate loan repayment

Payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)⁻ⁿ)

Uses fixed monthly payments, monthly rate r = annual percentage rate ÷ 100 ÷ 12, and n months. P is the original loan amount. At 0% interest, payment = P ÷ n. No fees, variable rates, insurance or early repayments are included.

A worked example

With loan amount of 20,000, annual interest rate (%) of 6, term (years) of 5, monthly payment is 386.66 in your chosen currency. Change the example above to match your situation.

Enter amounts in the same currency and time period. Results display up to two decimal places; calculations use unrounded values. These estimates are for planning and education.
