How this tool works

The installment uses the standard amortisation formula, where the periodic rate is the annual rate divided by the number of payments per year, and the number of periods is the term multiplied by that same figure.

Each period, interest is charged on the outstanding balance and the rest of the payment reduces the principal — which is why early payments are mostly interest.

Frequently asked questions

Which interest method is used?
Reducing-balance (amortising) interest: interest each period is charged on the outstanding balance, and the installment stays the same.
Are fees and insurance included?
No. Arrangement fees, excise duty on fees, insurance and other charges vary by lender and are not part of this estimate.
Why does my lender quote a different figure?
Lenders may use flat interest, different compounding, or add fees to the principal. Compare the total repayment figure rather than the rate alone.
