How Does Loan Calculator Work?
The Loan Calculator aims to tell what monthly interest would incur on your loaned amount at a fixed interest rate. So, to calculate loans, it uses the mathematical formula of Simple Interest.
L = P * R *T
Here,
L = Loan Amount
P = The Principal Amount
R = Interest rate
T = The Loan Duration
Do note that the Loan Calculator considers the loans that are paid off in regular monthly installments over time, with fixed payments covering both the principal amount and interest. In case of a lapse of payment, your bank may charge extra interest. For more information, do get in touch with the loan issuing bank.
