Simple Loan Calculator
Debt Calculator Information
The Equipment Finance Calculator calculates the type of repayment required, at the frequency requested, in respect of the loan parameters entered, namely amount, term and interest rate. The Product selected determines the default interest rate for personal loan product.The Equipment Finance Calculator also calculates the time saved to pay off the loan and the amount of interest saved based on an additional input from the customer. This is if repayments are increased by the entered amount of extra contribution per repayment period. This feature is only enabled for the products that support an extra repayment.The calculations are done at the repayment frequency entered, in respect of the original loan parameters entered, namely amount, annual interest rate and term in years.Calculator Assumptions
Length of Month
All months are assumed to be of equal length. In reality, many loans accrue on a daily basis leading to a varying number of days interest dependent on the number of days in the particular month.Number of Weeks or Fortnights in a Year
One year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. This implicitly assumes that a year has 364 days rather than the actual 365 or 366.Rounding of Amount of Each Repayment
In practice, repayments are rounded to at least the nearer cent. However, the calculator uses the unrounded repayment to derive the amount of interest payable at points along the graph and in total over the full term of the loan. This assumption allows for a smooth graph and equal repayment amounts. Note that the final repayment is after the increase in repayment amount.Rounding of Time Saved
The time saved is presented as several years and months, fortnights, or weeks, based on the repayment frequency selected. It assumes the potential partial last repayment when calculating the savings.Amount of Interest Saved
This amount can only be approximated from the amount of time saved and based on the original loan details.Calculator Disclaimer

Debt Calculator Instructions
Welcome to the Debt Calculator! This tool helps you estimate your monthly payments, total payments, and total interest payable for a loan. Follow these simple steps to utilize the calculator effectively:
1. Loan Amount
Enter the total amount of money you’re borrowing or the initial principal amount of your loan. This is the sum you’ll receive from the lender.
2. Number of Payments
Input the total number of payments you’ll make over the duration of the loan. This typically represents the loan term, whether it’s in months or years.
3. Payment Mode
Choose whether your payments will be made in arrears or in advance. Arrears means you pay at the end of each period (e.g., at the end of each month), while advance means you pay at the beginning of each period.
4. Interest Rate:
Enter the annual interest rate (in percentage) charged by the lender for the loan. This rate determines the additional amount you’ll pay on top of the principal amount borrowed.
After providing these inputs, the calculator will generate the following outputs:
Monthly Payment (including fees)
This is the amount you need to pay every month, including both the principal and the interest, as well as any additional fees associated with the loan.
Total Payment
This represents the total amount you will have paid by the end of the loan term, including the principal amount borrowed, interest, and any additional fees.
Total Interest Payable
This is the sum of all the interest payments you’ll make over the life of the loan. It indicates how much extra you’ll pay beyond the initial principal amount.
Feel free to adjust the inputs as needed to explore different scenarios or loan terms. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to seek assistance.
Happy calculating, and may you manage your debts wisely!
