Payoff Calc
Payoff Calc is a loan calculator that provides a unique comparison view of your loan balances before and after you apply additional principal payments, enabling you to easily compare the monthly time and cost savings at your fingertips.
If you have already made prepayments on your loan, Payoff Calc can show you the adjusted payoff date in addition to the savings and new payoff date for any subsequent extra payments that you make.
Fast and easy-to-use, you can use Payoff Calc for different types of fixed-rate loans, including mortgage, auto, credit card, student, etc. Instantly calculate the monthly payment, total payments, total interest, and payoff date. Simulate what-if scenarios to find out how much you can reduce on both the amount of interest you pay and the length of your loan with one-time and/or recurring additional principal payments.
The amortization table details each payment and shows you the date and number of remaining payments so that you know exactly how many payments you have left at any time. You can also email the loan results to yourself or share with others.

FAQ
Do I have to enter an amount for Beginning Balance if I have never made any extra payments in the past?
No, you can leave the Beginning Balance field empty since Payoff Calc already has the necessary information to calculate your loan. If the Beginning Balance field is empty, the Beginning Balance Date field is ignored. The Beginning Balance field is intended for borrowers to enter a current balance that is different from their original loan schedule.
Why is the date that I tried to select in Beginning Balance Date grayed out?
You have tried to select a date that is either before the First Payment Date, or after your loan term.
Why is the date that I tried to select in Extra Payment Date grayed out?
You have tried to select a date that is either before the First Payment Date or Beginning Balance Date, or after your loan term.
Why is the amount for my last payment in the amortization table different from my regular scheduled payment?
The last payment may be adjusted slightly more or less to bring the balance to zero.
