Interest Only Loan Calculator

Using an Interest-Only Loan Calculator

If you’ve never used an interest-only loan before, this calculator helps you see what actually happens with your payments.

In the beginning, you don’t reduce the loan at all. You only pay the interest. That’s why the EMI looks smaller. The loan amount itself stays untouched.

After that phase finishes, the loan behaves like a normal loan. Your EMI becomes higher because now part of the payment goes toward closing the loan amount.

Many people choose this type of loan for homes, rental income, or business plans where they expect better cash flow later.

How to enter the details

• First, type the amount you want to borrow. This is simply the loan value.
• Then add the interest rate given by the bank.
• Next, choose how long the loan should run. Some people prefer years, others prefer months.
• Now enter how long you want to pay only interest. This part must always be shorter than the full loan period.
• Pick the start date so the calculator can show proper payment timing.
• Once everything is filled, press Calculate and check the result.

What you will see in the result

You will first see the interest-only monthly amount.

Then you will see the EMI after the interest-only phase.

You will also see the total interest and the final amount you end up paying.

You can also view EMI values in weekly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly format.

About the amortization table

This table shows the real story of your loan.

At first, the balance does not change at all.

Later, it slowly starts falling until it finally reaches zero.
