This calculator helps determine the remaining balance on a personal loan after making partial payments, using the standard amortization formula. It's useful for planning loan repayments and understanding the impact of additional payments.
The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the present value of the remaining payments, showing how much principal is still owed after making partial payments.
Details: Understanding your remaining loan balance helps with financial planning, refinancing decisions, and assessing the impact of making additional principal payments.
Tips: Enter your regular monthly payment amount, the monthly interest rate (as a decimal), and the number of remaining payments. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How do I convert annual interest rate to monthly?
A: Divide the annual rate by 12 (for months) and convert from percentage to decimal (e.g., 6% annual = 0.06/12 = 0.005 monthly).
Q2: Does this account for additional principal payments?
A: This calculates the remaining balance based on regular payments. For extra payments, you would need to adjust the remaining periods accordingly.
Q3: What's the benefit of making part payments?
A: Part payments reduce your principal faster, decreasing total interest paid and potentially shortening your loan term.
Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a mathematical estimate assuming fixed interest rates and regular payments. Actual loans may have slight variations.
Q5: Can I use this for other types of loans?
A: Yes, it works for any amortizing loan (mortgages, car loans) with fixed payments, though terms may vary.
