1. What is the Loan Amortization Calculator?

This calculator helps determine monthly loan payments and generates a complete amortization schedule, which is often required for UK visa applications to demonstrate financial commitments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan amortization formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (GBP)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in months)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest.

3. Importance for UK Visa Applications

Details: UK visa applications often require proof of financial commitments. A detailed amortization schedule helps demonstrate your ability to meet loan obligations while in the UK.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in GBP, annual interest rate (percentage), and loan term in years. The calculator will show your monthly payment, total interest, and complete repayment schedule.
