Loan Calculator Guide

Amortized Loan

The most common type of loan (mortgages, auto loans, personal loans). You pay a fixed amount periodically that covers both interest and principal. The payment stays the same, but the proportion of principal vs interest changes over time.

Deferred Payment Loan

You receive the loan now but don't make any payments until the end of the term. Interest accrues on the full amount, and you pay back the entire principal + accumulated interest in one lump sum at maturity.

Bond / Predetermined Payment Loan

Similar to deferred payment, but the amount you will repay at maturity is fixed in advance (the face value). The amount you receive today is the present value of that future payment discounted at the current interest rate.

Important Notes

  • Always compare APR (Annual Percentage Rate), not just the interest rate.
  • Longer loan terms mean lower monthly payments but significantly more total interest paid.
  • Making extra payments on amortized loans can save you thousands in interest.
