Loan payment basics

What does a loan payment include?

A fixed-rate loan payment usually combines principal and interest. The principal reduces what you owe; interest is the cost of borrowing. A longer term can lower the monthly payment but usually increases total interest. Use the optional extra payment field to see how paying more each month may shorten the payoff time.

How is the monthly loan payment calculated?

The calculator uses the standard amortizing-loan formula with the loan amount, monthly interest rate, and number of monthly payments. It also provides a month-by-month amortization schedule so you can see how each payment is divided.
