How this loan interest calculator works
This calculator uses the standard amortised loan repayment formula for fixed-rate borrowing. It converts the annual rate into a monthly rate, then spreads repayment across the full term.
That makes it useful for comparing borrowing options before you commit, especially when a slightly lower interest rate or shorter term can significantly reduce total interest.
Example use case
For a £10,000 loan over 5 years at 6.5% APR equivalent annual rate, the monthly payment will be a little under £196. Over the whole term, the calculator also shows how much of the total repaid is interest.
Frequently asked questions

How to use the loan interest calculator
