How to use Loan Amortization Calculator
A fixed-payment amortizing model applies one twelfth of the nominal annual rate each month. Each payment covers interest first and then reduces principal.
- Enter loan principal, nominal annual interest rate (%), number of monthly payments.
- Check that the input follows the stated limits and uses consistent units.
- Run the calculator, review the result, then copy or download it.
Good to know
- 1–1,200 monthly payments and a nonnegative nominal rate up to 1,000%. No fees, insurance, tax, extra payments, or day-based interest. Internal amounts are unrounded; displayed schedule values are estimates.
- Decimal inputs have at most 120 characters and magnitude from 1e-100 to 1e15, or zero. Floating-point results are rounded to 12 significant digits; extreme derived results may underflow or be rejected. Exact integer results are identified separately.
- Educational estimate with user-entered assumptions, not a quote or financial/tax advice. Rates are hypothetical, fixed, and not fetched. Fees, taxes, inflation, payment-day conventions, and currency rules are excluded unless explicitly entered.
