About this tool

A loan calculator figures out your monthly payment, total interest paid, and full amortization schedule based on loan amount, interest rate, and term. It works for mortgages, car loans, personal loans, student debt, or any fixed-rate instalment loan. If you need to know exactly where your money is going each month, this is the tool that breaks it down clearly.

Reach for it before you sign anything. Use it when comparing lenders with different rates or terms, when deciding between a shorter term with higher payments versus a longer term with lower ones, or when you want to see how an extra lump-sum payment would reduce your total interest cost over the life of the loan.

How to use it

  1. Enter the total loan amount you are borrowing or plan to borrow.
  2. Input the annual interest rate as a percentage, for example 6.5.
  3. Set the loan term in years or months depending on the loan type.
  4. Choose your payment frequency: monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly if available.
  5. Click Calculate to see your payment amount and total interest charged.
  6. Scroll through the amortization table to review principal and interest per period.

Pro tips

  • Compare two scenarios side by side by changing only the rate to see exactly how much a half-point difference costs you over the full term.
  • Look at the amortization table early in the term to see how little principal you are actually paying down versus interest in those first payments.

FAQ

Does this account for Canadian mortgage compounding rules?
Canadian mortgages compound semi-annually by law, which differs from the monthly compounding used for most other loan types. Check whether the calculator specifies its compounding frequency and select the appropriate setting if offered.
Why does my total interest seem so high?
Interest accumulates on the outstanding balance across every period of the loan, so longer terms naturally produce far more total interest even at the same rate. Shortening your term or making extra payments is the most effective way to reduce that figure.
