What is an Education Loan Calculator?

An education loan calculator is a tool that allows you to calculate how much you may need to pay every month to pay off your student loan. Just enter a few details like loan amount, interest rate, and repayment term, and the calculator will give you your estimated monthly cost.

Education loan calculators can vary between institutions, and even between countries. Our calculator uses APR to provide a clear and accurate estimate of your total repayment cost, while other lenders might utilise EMI-based calculators, which can hide the true cost of borrowing.

What is APR and why does it matter?

APR is the total cost of borrowing money, expressed as a yearly percentage. It includes not just the interest rate but also other mandatory fees associated with the loan, such as processing fees, origination fees, and other charges. APR gives you a clearer picture of the true cost of the loan. It allows you to compare different loan offers more accurately, as it considers all costs involved.

EMI vs. APR Calculators

EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) calculators only focus on determining the fixed amount you'll pay each month on a loan. They typically require the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term as inputs. These calculators can be helpful for budgeting, however, EMI calculators don't provide a comprehensive picture of the loan's total cost. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) calculators offer a more accurate representation of the overall cost of borrowing. They incorporate the interest rate as well as any additional mandatory fees associated with the loan. This provides a clearer comparison between different loan offers. By using APR, you can see the true annual cost of the loan, allowing you to make informed decisions. Essentially, while an EMI calculator tells you how much you'll pay each month, an APR calculator reveals the complete financial picture, including all associated costs.
