See the real cost of a loan before you sign: monthly payment, total interest, total paid, and a year-by-year table showing the balance coming down.
How is a monthly loan payment calculated? With the amortization formula: payment = amount × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)−n), where r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12) and n is the number of monthly payments. Early payments are mostly interest; later ones are mostly principal — the year-by-year table above shows the balance falling.
Does this include taxes, insurance, or fees? No — this is principal and interest only, which is the part the loan itself controls. A mortgage quote with escrow, or a car loan with fees rolled in, will show a higher monthly figure than the pure loan math here.
