The formula behind it

Fixed-payment loans use the amortization formula, where P is the amount, r is the APR divided by 12 and n is the number of payments:

Payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)−n)

For $1,500 at 24.99% APR over 12 months, r is about 0.020825, so the payment is $142.56 and total interest is $210.71.

Three ways to pay less

Borrow less

Interest is charged on what you owe.

Shorten the term

Fewer months of interest.

Pay extra

Most network lenders don't charge prepayment penalties.

Common questions

How accurate is the GridMoney payment calculator?

It uses the standard amortization formula for fixed monthly payments, so estimates are close. Your lender's Truth in Lending disclosure is the official figure and can differ slightly with payment dates and fees.

Does using the calculator affect my credit?

No. It runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere and no credit check happens.

What does the origination fee slider do?

It shows how a fee deducted from your loan reduces the cash you receive. Origination fees are included in the APR a lender quotes.
