Personal Loan & Refinance Calculators

Compare loans using cash received, payment timing, fees, total interest, and APR. A lower payment can come from a lower rate, a longer term, or both—and a longer term can increase total cost.

How to use these tools

  1. 1

    Define the cash need

    Separate the amount borrowed from fees withheld or added to the balance.

  2. 2

    Compare on equal terms

    Review payment, APR, total cost, and remaining balance over the same period.

  3. 3

    Test early payoff

    See whether extra principal or refinancing saves enough to justify fees and effort.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a refinance worthwhile?

A refinance may help when interest and payment savings exceed fees within the time you expect to keep the new loan.

Can the calculator reproduce a lender disclosure?

Not necessarily. Timing, fee treatment, day-count conventions, and product-specific rules can change disclosed figures.
