Loan Instalment & Interest Calculator
Calculate monthly instalments with flat or effective interest, total interest, the instalment schedule, and early payoff.
How it is calculated
- Flat: interest is charged on the original principal for the whole tenor. Instalment = principal ÷ tenor + principal × interest ÷ 12. Common for vehicle and multipurpose loans.
- Effective (annuity): interest on the remaining principal, with the same instalment every month. Interest makes up most of the early payments; the principal share grows over time. Common for mortgages.
- Declining: the principal is repaid in equal parts and interest is charged on the remaining principal, so the instalment falls every month.
10% flat is not the same as 10% effective: for the same principal and tenor, total flat interest is much higher. The payoff simulation shows the remaining principal; banks may charge an early repayment penalty.
