The exact method behind this answer
CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.
Financed balance = max(0, loan amount + upfront financed fee − down payment). Monthly rate = APR ÷ 100 ÷ 12. Number of payments = term years × 12. Fixed payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n). If APR is 0, payment = P ÷ n. Total interest = payment × n − P.- Apply the formulaFinanced balance = max(0, loan amount + upfront financed fee − down payment). Monthly rate = APR ÷ 100 ÷ 12. Number of payments = term years × 12. Fixed payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n). If APR is 0, payment = P ÷ n.

Assumptions used
What this answer assumes
Best for personal-loan quotes, vehicle finance checks, equipment purchases, classroom amortization examples and budget planning where payment, balance, term, interest and assumptions need to stay visible together.
- The calculator estimates a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with equal monthly payments.
- APR is treated as a nominal annual rate divided into monthly periods; lender APR disclosures, fees, compounding rules and daily interest methods may differ.
- Upfront financed fees increase the balance only when they are rolled into the loan; a cash fee should not be entered there.
- The down payment is subtracted before payment calculation and is not included in total interest.
- Extra monthly payment is a planning comparison, not a formal payoff schedule; confirm prepayment rules, fees and exact balances with the lender.
Master’s Tip
How to use the result well
Master’s Tip: print the financed balance separately from the advertised loan amount. Fees, deposits and trade-ins change the balance, and that is the number the amortization formula actually uses.
