Loan Calculator

This tool helps you:

  1. Understand and plan for loan repayments with precision. Whether you're taking out a personal, student, or business loan>, it calculates your expected monthly repayment and shows how different loan terms impact your cash flow.

  2. It also accounts for special scenarios, such as loans with a grace period, so you can see how deferring payments affects your repayment schedule. For subsidized loans, the tool estimates the implicit interest rate (APR), helping you understand the true cost of borrowing.

  3. Additionally, it factors in loan fees to provide the effective interest rate, giving you a complete picture of the total cost of your loan and enabling smarter financial planning.

Check the implicit interest rate

This loan's implicit interest rate is

The implicit interest rate is the effective interest rate on a loan, reflecting the true cost of borrowing. It is also the calculated IRR (internal rate of return) for the whole loan period from the loan issuer's prospect. The effective interest rate can be different from your loan interest rate input above due to:
  1. The higher the origination fees, the higher the implicit loan rate will be.
  2. A subsidized loan with a long grace period can significantly reduce the implicit loan rate.
