Loan Payoff Calculator
Calculate how long it takes to pay off a loan with extra payments.
What is Loan Payoff Calculator?
A loan payoff calculator shows how much faster you can clear a loan with extra payments, and how much interest you save. It works for any loan — home, car, or personal.
Extra principal payments directly reduce the balance, cutting both the tenure and the total interest.
How does the Loan Payoff Calculator work?
Where B is the balance, r is the monthly rate, and P' is the increased monthly payment including the extra amount.
The calculator compares the original payoff date with the accelerated one and shows the interest saved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I prepay my home loan?
If your loan rate is above what you can earn reliably elsewhere (e.g. above 8-9%), prepaying saves money. Keep an emergency fund first.
Does prepayment reduce EMI or tenure?
Most lenders let you choose. Reducing tenure saves more interest; reducing EMI frees monthly cash flow.
