However, if you want to match other calculators, then set the "Loan Date" and "First Payment Due" so that the time between them equals one full period as set by "Payment Frequency."Įxample: If April 10th is the "Loan Date" and the "Payment Frequency" is "Monthly," then set the "First Payment Due" to May 10th, that is if you want an estimated interest calculation. Important - Selecting dates will result in interest charges as well as payment calculations that do not match other calculators. First Payment Due - for leases, it may be the same as the loan date otherwise, payments will usually start sometime after the borrower has had access to the loan proceeds.If the loan is for a vehicle or home, it is also known as the loan's closing date, start date, or origination date. Loan Date - the date the money is available.If you want an accurate, to the penny amortization schedule, you should spend a minute or two understanding these options. If you want an estimated schedule, you may skip over this section. set the annual interest rate to zero, andĪbout Dates - they may be (or may not be) important (to you):.What interest rate allows me to pay $500 a month?.How do I calculate how long it will take to pay off a loan?.How do I calculate how much I can borrow?.For "normal amortization," this includes principal and interest. Payment Amount - the amount that is due on each payment due date.This the quoted interest rate for the loan. Annual Interest Rate - the nominal interest rate.For a term of fifteen years, if the payment frequency is biweekly, you need to enter 390 for the number of payments. The "Payment Frequency" setting also impacts the loan's term. Number of Payments (term) - the length of the loan.Loan Amount - the amount borrowed, i.e., the principal amount.Interest amounts are the calculations that borrowers should be validating. TIP - Use an amortization schedule to confirm the periodic interest charges. A payment is "correct" as long as both the lender and debtor agree on the amount! (If the calculator always recalculated the last unknown, then this feature would not be possible.) The payment amount can be whatever you want it to be.
Note - You must enter a zero if you want a value calculated.īecause we want this calculator to create a payment schedule using the loan terms you need.
