FAQ

How is the monthly payment calculated?
Payment = P·r·(1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), where P is the amount, r is the monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of months.
What is total interest?
The total paid over the full term minus the original loan amount — the cost of borrowing.
Does it work for a 0% loan?
Yes. At 0% the payment is simply the amount divided by the number of months.
