How to use it
- Enter the loan amount, annual rate, and term.
- Add your income to see the affordability assessment.
- Use advanced mode for fees and existing debt.
Example
- 8,000 at 9% over 4 years ≈ a ~199/month installment and ~1,550 total interest.
What the result means
The installment is what you pay monthly; total interest is the extra you pay beyond the principal over the full term.
Common mistakes
- Comparing only the monthly payment, not total cost.
- Forgetting fees and insurance.
- Using expected income instead of current income.
Limitations
- Uses reducing-balance math; your bank's effective rate may differ.
- Estimate only — confirm with the bank.
Frequently asked
- How is this different from the general loan calculator?

- What is a safe debt burden?
