The All-in-One Debt Tool
Most calculators only do one thing. This one answers the three most critical questions in personal finance. Select your goal to get started.
Which Mode fits you?
- Solve for Payment: "I'm borrowing $20k. What's the bill?"
- Solve for Principal: "I can afford $500/mo. How much car can I buy?"
- Solve for Term: "I'm paying $200/mo. When will this be gone?"
What is Loan Repayment?
Loan repayment is the process of paying back borrowed money (principal) plus the cost of borrowing (interest) over a set period of time.
Most consumer loans (mortgages, auto loans, personal loans) are Amortized. This means your monthly payment stays the same, but the split between interest and principal changes every month. Our calculator solves the math variables in this amortization formula.
How to Use the 3 Calculation Modes
This calculator is unique because it can work backward. Choose the mode that matches your unknown variable:
Solve for Payment
Best for: Comparison shopping. Enter the loan amount and rate to see if the monthly cost fits your budget.
Solve for Principal
Best for: Setting a budget. Start with what you can afford monthly (e.g., $400) to find out the maximum price tag of the car or home.
Solve for Term
Best for: Aggressive payoff. Enter a higher monthly payment to see how many years you can shave off your debt sentence.
Strategies to Repay Loans Faster
Once you calculate your baseline repayment, use these strategies to accelerate your freedom:
Bi-Weekly Payments
Instead of paying monthly, pay half every two weeks. You'll make 26 half-payments a year (13 full payments), shrinking your term effortlessly.
Round Up
If your payment is $265, round it up to $300. The extra $35 goes 100% to principal, reducing interest accumulation immediately.
Refinance
If interest rates drop, refinance to a lower rate but keep making the old (higher) payment. This supercharges your principal reduction.
