Student Loan Calculator

Reference

The Student Loan Repayment Calculator uses the following basic formula:

Monthly Loan Payment = { Rate + Rate / [(1 + Rate) months -1] } x Principal Loan Amount

Where:

Rate (Monthly Interest Rate) = Decimal Rate / 12 , or Rate = (Annual Interest Rate / 100) / 12
