About This Tool
Loan Calculator compares reducing-balance or flat-rate loan payments and builds a monthly schedule. Reducing mode uses the EMI formula; flat mode uses I = P × R × years and divides principal plus interest equally across months.
What You Can Do
Transparent method
Reducing mode uses the EMI formula; flat mode uses I = P × R × years and divides principal plus interest equally across months.
Input-driven result
Loan Calculator uses principal, annual rate, tenure in months, interest type.
Result interpretation
Payment totals and amortization schedule
How to Use
- 1

Practical Use Cases
Loan Calculator scenario comparison
Compare how changes to principal, annual rate, tenure in months, interest type affect the payment totals and amortization schedule.
Arithmetic check
Use Loan Calculator to reproduce the documented formula with values you can independently verify.
Privacy and File Processing
Loan Calculator keeps its Principal, Annual rate, Tenure in months, or Interest type input in browser memory while the operation runs. The workflow creates Payment totals and amortization schedule for local preview or download and does not send the entered values or selected file bytes to the GXA Toolbox application server.
Supported Inputs and Outputs
Input
- Principal
- Annual rate
- Tenure in months
- Interest type
Output
- Payment totals and amortization schedule
Formula / Method
Reducing mode uses the EMI formula; flat mode uses I = P × R × years and divides principal plus interest equally across months.
Input Explanation
Principal
Enter the principal used by Loan Calculator.
Annual rate
Enter the annual rate used by Loan Calculator.
Tenure in months
Enter the tenure in months used by Loan Calculator.
Interest type
Enter the interest type used by Loan Calculator.
Understanding the Result
Loan Calculator displays payment totals and amortization schedule.
Assumptions
- Assumes an unchanged annual rate.
- Lender fees, daily accrual, rounding, and payment timing can differ.
Quality and Fidelity
Reducing mode uses the EMI formula; flat mode uses I = P × R × years and divides principal plus interest equally across months.
Limitations and Important Notes
- Assumes an unchanged annual rate.
- Lender fees, daily accrual, rounding, and payment timing can differ.
Worked Example
A 12-month flat-rate loan calculates total simple interest first, while reducing mode recalculates interest on remaining balance.
Helpful Tips
- Check the Loan Calculator units and rate periods before calculating.
- Retain enough precision in the payment totals and amortization schedule when using it in another calculation.
