Is the Payment Calculator free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no usage limits.
Does it use a specific currency?
No. Amounts are currency-neutral and use the same unit across all inputs, so it works in any country.
How is a monthly loan payment calculated?
Payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n), with P the loan amount, r the monthly rate (APR ÷ 12) and n the number of months. $25,000 at 7.5% for 60 months is $500.95 a month and $5,056.92 of interest.
How long will a fixed payment take to pay off a loan?
Switch "Solve for" to payoff time. The same $25,000 at 7.5% paid at $600 a month clears in 49 months with $4,051.02 of interest. If the payment is below the monthly interest, the balance never falls.
