A Loan Calculator is an essential tool for estimating the cost of a loan. It calculates monthly payments, total payment amounts, and interest payable over the life of the loan.

By entering loan details such as amount, interest rate, and repayment period, you can quickly understand the real cost of borrowing.

How the Loan Calculator Works

The Loan Calculator uses a standard amortization formula to determine monthly payments and total cost over the loan period. It requires the loan amount, interest rate, and term as inputs.
