How It Works
How It Works
This calculator finds the monthly interest-only payment on a loan. It uses a simple formula that calculates how much interest builds up each year and then divides it into 12 equal monthly payments.
First, the annual interest is calculated by multiplying the loan amount by the interest rate. Then, that yearly interest amount is divided by 12 to find the monthly interest payment.
- Multiply the loan principal (P) by the annual interest rate (R ÷ 100)
- This gives the total interest charged per year
- Divide the yearly interest by 12
- The result is your monthly interest-only payment
Understanding the Results
The result shows how much interest you must pay each month without reducing the loan balance. This means your payment only covers the interest, not the original loan amount.
Because the principal is not reduced, the monthly payment stays the same unless the interest rate changes.
- The output is the monthly interest payment only
- The loan balance does not decrease with this payment
- The result is shown in the same currency as the loan amount
- If the interest rate increases or decreases, the payment will change
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Monthly Interest-Only Loan Payment Calculator compute?
This calculator computes the monthly interest-only payment for a loan based on the loan principal and the annual interest rate. It does not include any principal repayment. The result shows how much interest you would pay each month if you are not reducing the loan balance.
When should I use an interest-only payment calculator?
You should use this calculator if you have an interest-only loan or are considering one. It is especially helpful for understanding short-term cash flow requirements. It can also be useful when comparing interest-only loans to fully amortizing loans.
How is the monthly interest payment calculated?
The calculator uses the formula (P × (R / 100)) ÷ 12. First, it converts the annual interest rate from a percentage to a decimal. Then it multiplies it by the loan principal and divides by 12 to determine the monthly interest amount.
Does this calculator include principal repayment?
No, this calculator only calculates the interest portion of a monthly payment. It assumes the loan is interest-only, meaning the principal balance does not decrease. If you are making principal payments, your total monthly payment would be higher.
What units should I use for the inputs?
Enter the loan principal as a numeric value in your desired currency (such as 100000 for $100,000). Enter the annual interest rate as a percentage (for example, 5 for 5%). The result will be in the same currency as the principal you entered.
Can you provide a practical example?
For example, if your loan principal is 200,000 and the annual interest rate is 6%, the monthly interest payment would be (200,000 × 0.06) ÷ 12. This equals 1,000 per month. This amount represents interest only and does not reduce the loan balance.
