Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates for general informational purposes only. Results assume a fixed interest rate with standard monthly compounding and do not account for variable rate adjustments, prepayment penalties, escrow, taxes, insurance, or lender-specific fees. Actual loan costs and payoff dates will vary. Consult a qualified mortgage or financial advisor before making borrowing or prepayment decisions.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. 1
    Loan Amount

    Enter the total amount you are borrowing — the original principal balance. For a mortgage, this is the purchase price minus your down payment. For a refinance, enter your current remaining balance.

  2. 2
    Annual Interest Rate

    Enter the fixed annual interest rate (APR) on your loan. This is the yearly rate divided by 12 to compute monthly interest. Do not include points or fees here — use the stated interest rate on your loan documents.

  3. 3
    Loan Term

    Enter the repayment period in years. Common terms are 30 or 15 years for mortgages, 5–7 years for auto loans, and 1–7 years for personal loans. A shorter term means higher monthly payments but much less total interest paid.

  4. 4
    Extra Monthly Payment (optional)

    Enter any additional amount you plan to pay toward principal each month. Even a small extra payment can save thousands in interest and shave years off your loan. The calculator shows you the exact payoff acceleration and interest savings side by side.

Calculation Formulas

Standard loan amortization uses a fixed monthly payment derived from the principal, interest rate, and term. Each payment first covers the interest due on the remaining balance, with the remainder reducing the principal.

Monthly Payment Formula

M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1]

where:
  P = principal (loan amount)
  r = monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
  n = total months (years × 12)

Per-Month Breakdown

Interest  = Balance × r
Principal = M − Interest
Balance   = Balance − Principal

With extra payment (E):
  Payment  = M + E
  Principal = (M + E) − Interest
  Balance shrinks faster each month

Extra Payment Acceleration

Total Interest (standard) = (M × n) − P
Total Interest (extra)    = Σ Interest charges until balance = 0
Interest Savings = Total Interest (standard) − Total Interest (extra)
Months Saved     = n − Accelerated payoff months

The extra amount applies entirely to principal,
reducing the balance on which future interest accrues.
