Using Amortization calculator
Calculate a level loan payment, month-by-month principal and interest, and the effect of an extra monthly payment.
Assumes monthly interest at annual rate ÷ 12, a fixed rate, and payments at month-end. No daily accrual, fees, taxes, insurance, changing rates, or prepayment penalties. The model keeps unrounded balances; schedule rows show cents and may differ slightly from a lender’s rounding. Maximum 1,200 months.
A worked example
With loan principal = 1200, annual interest percent = 0, term in months = 12, extra monthly payment = 0, the scheduled monthly payment is 100.00 (rounded to two decimal places).

Money amounts are displayed to two decimal places; other results use up to 12 significant digits. Very large values may lose precision.
