1. What is Loan Payoff Date?

The loan payoff date is the date when your loan balance will reach zero based on your current payment schedule. It represents when you will have completely paid off your debt.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses amortization calculations to determine when your balance will reach zero:

Where:

• Balance is calculated each month as: Previous Balance + Interest - Payment
• Interest is calculated as: Monthly Interest Rate × Previous Balance
• Monthly Interest Rate = Annual Interest Rate / 12

3. Importance of Payoff Date Calculation

Details: Knowing your payoff date helps with financial planning, understanding the true cost of borrowing, and evaluating the impact of additional payments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your loan amount, interest rate, monthly payment amount, and loan start date. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I make extra payments?
A: Extra payments will shorten your payoff date. This calculator assumes fixed monthly payments.

Q2: Does this work for credit cards?
A: Yes, if you make fixed monthly payments. Credit cards typically have minimum payments that change as balance decreases.

Q3: Why is my payoff date different from my loan term?
A: The calculator shows when you'll actually pay off the loan based on your payment amount, which may differ from the scheduled term.

Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a good estimate but doesn't account for payment date variations, fees, or payment changes.

Q5: Can I calculate payoff date for multiple loans?
A: This calculator is for a single loan. For multiple loans, calculate each separately.
