A personal loan is repaid in fixed monthly instalments: the annuity. Enter the amount, rate and term to see your monthly payment and total interest cost.

Formula

M = P × i ÷ (1 − (1 + i)⁻ⁿ)

This is the same annuity formula used for a mortgage: you pay the same amount every month, with the interest share higher at first and falling over time as the repayment share rises.

tips

  • Compare loans on total interest cost, not just the monthly payment.

warnings

  • Some loans charge origination fees or have a variable rate; this calculator assumes a fixed rate with no extra costs.
