Understanding Student Loans
This calculator helps you plan your student loan repayment. Key points include:
- Monthly payments are calculated using the standard loan amortization formula: M = P * (r * (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1), where M is monthly payment, P is principal, r is monthly interest rate, and n is total months.
- Total interest paid is derived by subtracting the original loan amount from the total payments made over the loan term.
Calculations assume a fixed interest rate and consistent monthly payments unless specified otherwise.
FAQs
What if my loan has a variable interest rate?
This calculator assumes a fixed interest rate. For variable rates, recalculate with an average rate or consult your lender for projections.
Does this include fees or additional costs?
No, fees or other costs are not included. Add any origination fees or other charges to the loan amount if needed.
Can I account for extra payments?
This calculator assumes standard monthly payments. Extra payments will reduce total interest and term; recalculate or use an amortization schedule for precision.
Does the currency selection affect the calculation?
No, the currency selection is for display purposes only. The calculation remains the same regardless of the currency chosen.
