Estimate a monthly payment

Enter the annual interest rate from your offer. The estimate uses equal monthly payments.

Assumes constant interest, equal monthly periods and end-of-month payments. Excludes daily accrual, arrears, insurance refunds and prepayment penalties. A financed fee belongs in principal, not also in the separate fee field.

How the estimate works

The model uses equal monthly periods, a constant nominal rate divided by 12, and payments at the end of each month. It also handles a zero-interest loan. Real accounts can use daily accrual, different first-payment dates, fees or rounding rules.
