The hardest part of comparing loans is usually not getting one number. It is understanding three numbers together. How much might the payment be each period, how much interest will the loan cost over time, and whether a different repayment structure is actually cheaper or just shifts the pressure into different months. This page is built for that kind of decision.
It works well as an early planning tool for mortgages, car loans, education loans, business loans, and personal borrowing. Once you have a rough amount, a likely rate range, and a tentative term, you can use the page to screen options before you get deep into lender paperwork.
Loan type helps you think in terms of housing, auto, consumer, business, education, or personal borrowing. In the current implementation, though, it does not change the formula. It works more like a scenario label than a mathematical input.
This is the principal you expect to borrow. The current page requires an amount of at least 1000. If you accidentally include down payment or other cash costs here, the results will overstate the loan burden.
It can be used for all of them. In the current page, loan type is mostly a scenario label, while the math is driven by amount, rate, term, and repayment method.
Real lender quotes may include fees, insurance, taxes, start-date rules, day-count methods, and rounding differences, so this tool is best for early comparison.
No. Fixed payment is usually level, equal principal shows the highest first payment, and interest only shows the regular interest amount rather than the final large principal payment.
Yes. The current implementation builds the full schedule so you can review payment, principal, interest, and remaining balance period by period.
