Formula explanation

How this calculator works

Core formula

M = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]

This is the standard amortization formula for fixed-payment loans. It spreads principal and interest across the full repayment term.

  • When the rate is zero, the payment falls back to principal divided by term.
  • Total interest equals total payments minus the amount borrowed.
