Formula Used

The payoff calculator uses the following formula to determine the number of months to pay off your loan:

Number of Months = Loan Balance / Monthly Payment

Total Interest Paid = (Number of Months × Monthly Payment) - Loan Balance

Where:

  • Loan Balance = The current amount you owe on your loan
  • Monthly Payment = The amount you pay each month

Worked Example

Let's say you have a car loan with a balance of $20,000 and you make monthly payments of $400.

Number of Months = $20,000 / $400 = 50 months

Total Interest Paid = (50 × $400) - $20,000 = $2,000

This means it will take you 50 months (about 4 years and 2 months) to pay off your loan, and you'll pay $2,000 in interest.
