About Loan Calculator
A loan payment calculator finds the fixed monthly instalment that repays a loan over its term. For a reducing balance (amortized) loan it uses payment = P × i ÷ (1 − (1 + i)^−n), where P is the amount, i the annual rate ÷ 12, and n the number of months. For a flat rate loan, payment = P ÷ n + P × i. It assumes a fixed rate and excludes fees, insurance, and taxes. Simulation only, not a loan offer.
Also known as: Loan / Mortgage Calculator, Loan EMI Calculator.

Questions about Loan Calculator
What is the difference between flat and reducing balance interest?
Flat interest is charged on the full original amount for the whole term. Reducing balance interest is charged only on what you still owe, so at the same quoted rate the flat loan costs noticeably more.
What is an EMI?
EMI stands for equated monthly instalment, the term used in India and elsewhere for the fixed monthly payment on an amortized loan. It is the same figure as the monthly payment shown here.
Can I use this for a mortgage?
Yes, for a fixed-rate repayment mortgage. Enter the term in months, for example 360 for 30 years. Property tax, insurance, and fees are not included, so the real monthly cost will be higher.
