This calculator uses the inverse of the standard amortization formula to solve for the number of periods (n): n = -log(1 - (P * r) / A) / log(1 + r), where P is the principal, r is the monthly rate, and A is the fixed monthly payment. If the payment is too low to cover the monthly interest accrued, the loan cannot be paid off, resulting in negative amortization.
1. Enter the total Loan Amount (Principal). 2. Input the Annual interest Rate (APR). 3. Input your desired fixed Monthly Payment. 4. The system calculates the exact number of months and years required to become debt-free.
Loan Term represents the duration (in months or years) required to reduce the principal balance to zero. Total Paid represents the sum of all monthly installments. Total Interest is the surplus amount paid over the original principal.
FAQ
Negative amortization occurs when your monthly payment is less than the interest accrued in that month. The unpaid interest is added to the principal balance, causing the total amount you owe to increase over time.
You can shorten your term by increasing your monthly payment amount. Even small increases in the monthly payment can lead to significant reductions in the payoff timeframe and interest costs.
