Monthly payment = P×r / (1 − (1+r)^−n)

Example

A larger rate or shorter term raises the monthly payment.

Frequently asked questions

Is this exact?

It is a standard estimate based on fixed monthly payments.

Does it include fees?

No. Add fees separately or compare with an APR estimate.

Flagship upgrade

Read the monthly payment in context

A monthly repayment number is useful on its own, but it becomes much more useful when you compare it against total cost and affordability.

Best forLoan comparison scenarios

Check tooTerm length and total interest

Next toolAPR or mortgage calculator

Quick example

Two loans can have similar monthly payments but very different total repayment costs if the interest rate or term length changes.

Test at least two term lengths before deciding.
Use APR or mortgage tools next for a wider borrowing comparison.
Remember that fees may sit outside a simple monthly payment estimate.
