Monthly Payment Calculator 💰
A futuristic tool to visualize your loan repayments and plan your financial future.
Monthly Payment (M) Formula
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
Understanding the Formula
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]
- M: Your total monthly payment.
- P: The principal loan amount (the amount you borrowed).
- i: Your monthly interest rate (your annual rate divided by 12).
- n: The total number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12).

FAQs
What is an amortization schedule and why is it important?
An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off. It's important because it gives you a transparent view of how your loan is paid down over time. You can see how, in the early years, a larger portion of your payment goes to interest, while in the later years, more goes toward paying down your principal balance.
How does this calculator handle different currencies?
Our calculator has built-in support for five major currencies. When you select a currency from the dropdown menu (e.g., EUR), the tool automatically updates the currency symbol (€) in the input and result fields. All calculations are performed on the numerical values, ensuring the math is correct regardless of the currency selected, providing a localized and intuitive experience.
Is the calculator responsive on all devices?
Absolutely. It was built from the ground up with a "mobile-first" approach and uses modern CSS techniques like Tailwind CSS to ensure it looks and works great on all devices. Whether you're on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, the layout will adapt to your screen size for optimal usability.
Can I see the impact of making extra payments?
This version of the calculator focuses on standard loan repayment schedules. A future update may include a feature to model the positive impact of making extra payments, such as shortening your loan term and saving on total interest. For now, you can use the detailed schedule to understand your baseline repayment plan.
What formula does this calculator use for its calculations?
The calculator uses the standard, industry-accepted formula for calculating the monthly payment on an amortizing loan. We display this formula prominently on the page for full transparency, so you can be confident that the results are accurate and reliable.
