Compare against equal-principal to visualize early-payment pressure versus lifetime interest.
Re-run with +1.0% rate and shorter term to stress-test resilience before committing.
Executive overview for borrowing decisions
This loan calculator is built for decision quality: monthly affordability, lifetime financing cost, and payoff trajectory are evaluated together so you can choose a loan structure with stronger cash-flow resilience.
Field interpretation and modeling logic
Loan amount: financed principal that drives total interest exposure.
Annual rate: core price-of-credit input converted to monthly accrual.
Term (months): duration lever balancing payment size versus total cost.
Repayment method: annuity for stability, equal-principal for lower long-run interest.
