Frequently asked questions

How is my monthly loan payment calculated?+

The calculator uses the standard amortization formula, which spreads the loan principal and interest across equal payments over the term, based on the interest rate, loan amount, and number of payments you enter.

Why is most of my early payment interest rather than principal?+

Interest is charged on the outstanding balance each period, which is largest at the start of the loan, so more of each early payment covers interest; as the balance shrinks over time, more of each payment goes toward principal.

How much does extending the loan term reduce my monthly payment?+

A longer term spreads the same principal over more payments, lowering each individual payment, but it also means paying interest for more periods, which increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

What is the difference between the interest rate and the APR?+

The interest rate applies only to the principal, while the APR includes certain fees and costs rolled into an annualized rate, making the APR a more complete measure of the loan's true cost when comparing offers.

Does paying extra toward principal actually save money?+

Yes, any extra amount applied directly to principal reduces the balance that future interest is calculated on, which shortens the loan term and reduces total interest paid, even if the required monthly payment stays the same.
