This tool helps you calculate the remaining balance on your home loan.
Home Loan Outstanding Calculator
Use the calculator above to determine the outstanding balance on your home loan. Input the principal amount of the loan, the annual interest rate, the loan term in years, and the number of payments you have already made.
How to Use:
- Enter the original amount of your loan in the “Principal Amount” field.
- Enter the annual interest rate for your loan in the “Annual Interest Rate” field.
- Enter the loan term (the total length of the loan) in years in the “Loan Term” field.
- Enter the total number of payments you have made so far in the “Total Payments Made” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see your monthly payment and the current outstanding balance on your loan.
Calculation Method:
The monthly payment is calculated using the formula for an amortizing loan, which is:
PMT = P * r / (1 – (1 + r)^-n)
where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12), and n is the number of monthly payments (total years multiplied by 12).
The outstanding balance is calculated by considering the total payments made to date and applying the formula for the remaining balance of an amortizing loan:
Balance = P * (1 + r)^m – (PMT / r) * ((1 + r)^m – 1)
where m is the number of payments made to date.
Limitations:
This calculator assumes a fixed-rate loan with regular monthly payments. It doesn’t account for any additional fees, taxes, or insurance payments associated with your mortgage. The result is an estimate and may differ slightly from the actual outstanding balance due to rounding and other factors.
