When to use this calculator

Use this page when you want a quick repayment estimate for a standard fixed-rate amortising loan such as a car loan, personal loan, or equipment finance agreement.

How to read the result

The main figure is the estimated monthly payment. Supporting figures show the total repaid over the term and the total interest charged.

Worked example

For a 10,000 loan at 12% over 12 months, the payment reflects both principal and interest spread across the year.

Changing the rate or term shows how the monthly cost moves even when the amount borrowed stays the same.

Assumptions and limits

This calculator assumes a fixed rate and fixed monthly repayments over the full term. It does not include arrangement fees, insurance, arrears, overpayments, or variable-rate changes.

Common questions

Can I use this for an interest-free loan?

Yes. Enter a zero rate and the page will split the borrowed amount evenly across the term.

Is this the same as a mortgage calculator?

The repayment maths is similar, but the mortgage page also handles deposit, property price, and loan-to-value context.
