Under the hood
Standard amortization, two ways.
We compute the same payment at the national-average personal-loan APR and again at 0% APR so you can compare a promo offer directly against a typical loan.
- 01
Standard amortization at national-average APR
monthly = P × r(1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), with r = 11.5% ÷ 12 and n = months.
- 02
0% APR side-by-side
When APR = 0, monthly = P ÷ months. Equal payments, no interest, total = principal.
- 03
Total interest = total cost − principal
We multiply the monthly payment by months and subtract the price to isolate what you actually pay in interest.
Questions
Frequently asked
11.5% is a reasonable reference for the national average personal-loan APR. Your actual rate depends on credit score, lender, and whether you use store financing, a credit card, or a personal loan — get the offer in writing first.
The right column shows 0% APR for the same price across all terms — equal monthly payments, no interest. Useful for comparing a promo to standard financing.
Longer terms spread the principal over more payments, so each individual payment shrinks — but you pay more interest in total. 12 months has the highest monthly payment but the lowest total interest.
If those will be financed, include them in the price. If you're paying them up front, leave them out so the math reflects only what's being financed.
It's the standard amortization math every lender uses. Your actual loan may include origination fees, prepayment terms, or insurance — read the loan disclosure carefully.
