Read the how-to
The formula

How this number is built

payment = principal × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)−n) · APR includes fees
Step by step

Doing it by hand

Step 1

Enter the amount you will actually receive plus any fee financed into the loan.

Step 2

Use the annual rate; the calculator converts it to a monthly period rate.

Step 3

Set the term — longer terms lower the payment and raise total interest.

Step 4

Add the origination fee to see the APR rather than the headline rate.

Step 5

Test an extra monthly payment to see how much interest disappears.

Questions

What people ask next

Rate or APR — which matters?

APR, because it folds fees into a single comparable number across lenders.

Does a longer term ever make sense?

When cash flow certainty matters more than total cost, or when the rate is low relative to what your money earns elsewhere.
