Compare monthly payments and total interest
Monthly payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1]
P = principal, r = periodic interest rate, n = number of payments.The calculation links Loan amount ($), Interest rate (%) and Loan term (years) to monthly payment. Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, so the split changes even when the scheduled payment stays constant. Early payments usually contain a larger interest share.

See how a fixed-payment loan balance declines and how each payment is split between interest and principal. Use the schedule to inspect the balance at a future month.
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, so the split changes even when the scheduled payment stays constant. Early payments usually contain a larger interest share.
Prepare Loan amount ($), Interest rate (%), Loan term (years) and Start date. Set the principal, annual rate and term, then read one early row and one later row of the repayment schedule.
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, so the split changes even when the scheduled payment stays constant. Early payments usually contain a larger interest share. A monthly schedule can differ from daily-interest servicing, payment-date adjustments, fees and lender rounding. It is not a payoff quote.
Use the full settings in the worked-example table. They produce Monthly payment: 1264.14. Compare the method and units as well as the displayed number.
The displayed relationship is Monthly payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1] P = principal, r = periodic interest rate, n = number of payments. Set the principal, annual rate and term, then read one early row and one later row of the repayment schedule.
A monthly schedule can differ from daily-interest servicing, payment-date adjustments, fees and lender rounding. It is not a payoff quote. For a transaction or account decision, compare the inputs with the applicable statement, contract or official rules.
Worked amortization calculator example. Set Loan amount ($) = 200000; Interest rate (%) = 6.5; Loan term (years) = 30; Start date = 2024-01-01. The corresponding output is Monthly payment: 1264.14. Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, so the split changes even when the scheduled payment stays constant.

| Field | Example value | Entry check |
|---|---|---|
| Loan amount ($) | 200000 | Use the amount for this scenario in the currency and period shown by the field. |
| Interest rate (%) | 6.5 | Enter a percentage in the form requested by the field, keeping its stated time basis. |
| Loan term (years) | 30 | Use the period unit in the field label; months and years are not interchangeable. |
| Start date | 2024-01-01 | Use the calendar date for this scenario; keep the comparison date explicit. |
Relationship used for this example: Monthly payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1] P = principal, r = periodic interest rate, n = number of payments.
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, so the split changes even when the scheduled payment stays constant. Early payments usually contain a larger interest share.

With these settings, monthly payment is 1264.14. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, so the split changes even when the scheduled payment stays constant. Early payments usually contain a larger interest share. A monthly schedule can differ from daily-interest servicing, payment-date adjustments, fees and lender rounding. It is not a payoff quote.
Replace the illustrative loan amount ($) value (200000) with your own value, then complete the other inputs for the same scenario. Set the principal, annual rate and term, then read one early row and one later row of the repayment schedule.
