FAQ
How is the payment on a $25,000 personal loan calculated?
Standard amortization: payment = principal × monthly rate ÷ (1 − (1 + monthly rate)^−months). At 11% APR over 3 years, $25,000 works out to $818.47 a month. The calculator above uses the exact same formula with your own numbers.
What doesn't this payment include?
It covers principal and interest only — not origination fees, which many personal-loan lenders deduct upfront (often 1–8% of the amount).
How much interest will I pay in total?
At 11% over 3 years: about $4,465 in interest on top of the $25,000 borrowed. A shorter 2-year term at the same rate cuts that to about $2,965 — a higher monthly payment, but far less paid overall.
Are these real rates?
No — the 6%–21% grid is an illustrative range so you can see how the payment moves with the rate. Your actual APR depends on your credit, the lender, and current market conditions. This page is arithmetic, not financial advice.
