For a $400,000 loan at 7% APR over 20 years, your monthly payment is calculated by the tool above. The total cost of the loan depends on the interest rate and term length — longer terms mean lower payments but more total interest. Use the calculator above to see the exact monthly payment and full amortization schedule for your specific loan amount and rate.
You can lower your monthly payment by: extending the loan term (but this increases total interest), negotiating a lower interest rate, making a larger down payment, improving your credit score before applying, or shopping around with multiple lenders. Even a 1% reduction in APR can save hundreds per year.
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal, while APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes the interest rate plus any fees or other charges associated with the loan. APR gives you a more complete picture of the true cost of borrowing. Our calculator uses the interest rate for monthly payment calculations.
A shorter loan term means higher monthly payments but significantly less total interest. A longer term lowers your monthly payment but increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan. For example, a $400,000 loan at 7% over 3 years costs less in total interest than the same loan over 7 years.
This loan calculator works for virtually any fixed-rate loan: personal loans, auto loans, student loans, debt consolidation loans, home improvement loans, business loans, and more. Simply enter your loan amount, interest rate, and term to see your monthly payment and total cost.
