Monthly payment formula
Payment = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1]P is the amount borrowed, r is the monthly nominal rate and n is the number of payments. Upfront fees increase total cost but do not automatically turn the nominal rate into APR.

HOW IT WORKS
A result to understand, not just read.
The payment is estimated from the nominal annual rate using level monthly instalments. To compare real offers, also check the disclosed APR or equivalent total-cost rate because it can include charges beyond interest.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the lowest monthly payment the cheapest loan?+
Not necessarily. A longer term may lower the instalment while increasing the amount repaid overall.
Does this calculator produce an official APR?+
No. Adding an upfront fee to the total does not recreate every cash flow required for an official APR calculation.
RESULT GUIDE
How to read a loan payment, rate and total cost
The calculator estimates a constant monthly payment from the principal, nominal rate and number of payments, then adds the upfront costs entered by the user.
Example: a €10,000 loan
- nominal annual rate: 7%
- term: 60 months
- upfront fees: €250
Insurance, taxes, recurring charges and payment fees may raise the real total.
How to interpret the result
- Compare offers for the same amount and term using the official total-cost rate.
- Assess the instalment alongside all existing monthly commitments.
What the estimate does not include
- It does not model arrears, early repayment, variable instalments or a final balloon payment.
- The lender’s pre-contract information and agreement take precedence.
