Which term should you choose? Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but dramatically less interest. A $100,000 loan over 36 months costs $13,643.13 in interest — vs $33,026.48 over 84 months. That's a difference of $19,383.35 for the same loan.

How Is the Monthly Payment Calculated?

All figures use the standard amortisation formula: M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1], where P = $100,000 principal, r = monthly rate (8.5% APR / 12), and n = term in months. Every payment covers interest accrued that month plus a portion of principal — with the interest share decreasing each month.
