## Overview

At the top of the personal-loan range, $50,000 at 11% over 5 years carries a payment of about $1,087 a month. Even stretched over the longest standard term, a loan this large accumulates real interest — roughly $15,227 — pushing total repayment to about $65,227. Borrowers usually weigh this against a secured loan, which may carry a lower rate for a sum of this size.

## Method

The calculator uses the standard level-payment amortization formula. The periodic payment M equals P times r times (1 + r) to the power of n, divided by ((1 + r) to the power of n minus 1), where P is the loan principal, r is the interest rate per period (the annual rate divided by the number of periods per year), and n is the total number of payments. For a monthly loan r is the annual rate divided by 12; for fortnightly it is divided by 26. When r is zero the formula degenerates and M is simply P divided by n. The amortization schedule is then built period by period: interest for each period is the remaining balance multiplied by r, the principal portion is M minus that interest, and the balance is reduced accordingly until it reaches zero on the final payment.
