Check monthly, yearly, total, and interest figures
Fill in the loan amount, annual interest rate, and loan term, then click Calculate Now. The payment summary shows your monthly, yearly, total, and interest figures.
Your results show four key numbers. The monthly payment is what you’ll owe every month. Yearly payment multiplies that by 12 for annual budgeting. Total payment is the full lifetime cost including principal and interest. Total interest shows exactly what you pay in interest charges. These figures are estimates for planning and are not financial advice. Your lender’s statement is the final word on what you owe.
Comparing this loan against a personal or auto loan offer? The Loan Calculator uses the same amortization math so you can put the numbers side by side.
Want to see how a lower rate changes your total cost? Run the calculation twice with different rates and compare the Total Interest figures. For other kinds of loans, try the EMI Calculator.
For federal loan-specific numbers like subsidized vs. unsubsidized rates and repayment plans, Federal Student Aid is the U.S. Department of Education’s official source.

Works on any device, so you can run calculations from your phone, tablet, or computer.
The tool uses the standard loan amortization formula, so results are accurate for fixed-rate loans with equal monthly payments. Your lender’s figure may differ slightly because of fees, rounding, or payment timing.
Yes, for a fixed-rate estimate. The calculator assumes equal monthly payments at a fixed rate. It does not model grace periods, deferment, capitalized interest, or income-driven repayment plans, so check Federal Student Aid for those details.
The calculator handles zero-interest loans correctly by dividing the principal evenly across all payments.
No. Total interest is the dollar amount you pay over the loan term.
