Calculate Your Mortgage & Loan Repayments

Our repayment loan calculator above can provide you with a brief overview for calculating your loan repayments. To calculate your repayments manually:

1. Divide your interest rate by the amount of payments you will make each year. This is often one per month or 12 per year.
2. Multiply the output figure by your initial loan balance. This should start at the full amount you borrowed.

The $2,500 is the figure you will pay in interest in your first month. As you continue to pay your loan off, more of your repayments will be allocated to the initial balance, with less going toward interest.

To accurately calculate your Debt-To-Income (DTI) ratio, you will need to know the following:

• Your debt amount (the total amount of money you have borrowed)
• Your average monthly income (how much you earn per month on average)

Using the DTI formula, you can figure out how much money and time you need to repay your debts.

1. Calculate all your total monthly debt payments. This includes your credit cards, mortgage, vehicle loans, and alike
2. Work out your monthly gross income by dividing your gross annual income by 12.
3. Divide the sum of your monthly debt payments by your monthly income calculated in
4. Move the decimal point two digits to the right to make it a percentage
