Under the hood
The same formula every lender uses.
Standard amortization is the math behind every fixed-payment loan — banks, retailers, and credit cards alike. We just expose it directly.
- 01
Convert APR to a monthly rate
Monthly rate r = APR ÷ 100 ÷ 12. A 9.99% APR becomes 0.008325 per month.
- 02
Apply the amortization formula
Monthly payment = P × r(1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P = principal and n = months.
- 03
Total interest = total cost − principal
Multiply monthly payment by months to get total cost; subtract the original price to isolate the interest you'll actually pay.
Questions
Frequently asked
The standard amortization formula: monthly payment = P × r(1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), where P is the principal, r is the monthly rate (APR ÷ 12), and n is the number of months.
When APR is 0, monthly payment = principal ÷ months — equal payments with no interest. Useful for comparing promotional financing to standard rates.
Use the rate the retailer or lender is offering you specifically. Store-card APRs run high (often 20–29%); personal loan APRs typically run lower. Get the actual offer in writing first — advertised rates are often best-case.
No — enter the all-in financed amount (sticker + tax + delivery + install) as the price if those costs are being financed too. If you're paying them up front, leave them out.
Each month you owe interest on the remaining balance. A 60-month term carries that balance five times longer than 12 months, so total interest grows non-linearly with term length — even at the same APR.
Only if the math works for your budget and you have a real plan to pay it off — ideally inside any 0% promo window. If you're paying high APR for years, the energy savings of a new ENERGY STAR unit can be wiped out by interest.
