Calculate Your Loan Payments

Whether you are considering taking out a loan to buy a car, a house, or just a personal loan, it remains important to understand the costs involved and how long it would take you to pay it off.

This is where our online loan calculator can help.

When calculating a loan, there’s a variety of factors that could affect the total amount you’ll pay over time and the potential payoff.

The two most important factors affecting the cost of your loan are the interest rate and loan length.

Use our financing calculator to find the best personal loan to suit your needs. It can also be used as a car loan calculator.

The Financer.com loan calculator tool is completely free, it allows you to find and compare multiple loans at once without affecting your credit score.

Tip: You can compare loan rates for free with Financer.com.

Loan Payoff Calculator

A loan’s interest rate will vary based on the current market and your credit rating. In general, consumers with better credit ratings get lower interest rates.

The length or term of the loan and the amount you borrow may also affect the interest rate.

A higher loan amount or a longer term exposes the lender to more risk, and additional risk generally leads to higher interest rates.

A loan calculator can help you understand how much you must pay to satisfy the entire loan at any point during its term.

The interest rate and loan term will also impact your monthly payments. The longer you finance a loan, the lower your payments will be.

This option of extended terms means you will pay more over the life of the loan — not to mention the higher interest rate generally associated with a long-term loan.

Conversely, a shorter-term loan may have higher payments, but the total loan cost will fall due to lower interest rates and reduced time for interest to accrue.

Our auto loan amortization calculator can help you figure out what your loan payments will be based on the variables you enter, like the interest rate and term of the loan.
