Understand the offer

Compare payment and total cost

Personal loan offers are easiest to compare when you look beyond the monthly payment. This model adds financed origination costs and fees to the balance, then shows total interest and the payoff effect of an extra payment.

Model assumptions

The origination fee is modeled as financed rather than deducted from the cash disbursed. APR, lender fees, late fees, and variable-rate provisions may differ from this estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Is an origination fee taken from the loan or added to it?

This calculator adds the fee to the financed balance. Some lenders deduct it from the cash you receive instead, so compare the result with the offer documents.

Does this calculate APR?

No. Enter the APR or annual rate quoted by the lender. The calculator estimates payments from the rate you provide.

Can extra payments reduce my required payment?

No. The model keeps the scheduled payment fixed and applies extra money to principal, which shortens the payoff period.

Are late fees included?

No. This is a fixed-rate amortization estimate and does not model late fees, missed payments, penalties, or variable rates.
