Using Debt consolidation calculator
Compare the remaining payments on each fixed-rate loan with a new loan for the combined balances and financed fees.
Each row assumes a fully amortizing loan with equal monthly payments. The comparison excludes future borrowing, variable rates, prepayment penalties, late fees and debt forgiveness. A lower monthly payment can still mean a higher total cost. Amounts use one currency chosen by you.
A worked example
For existing loans: balance, annual rate %, payments left (one per line) = 1000, 0, 10 2000, 0, 20, new annual interest rate (%) = 0, new monthly payments = 20, fees financed into the new loan = 0, new monthly payment = 150.00.
