How the Interest-Only Loan Calculator Works
The balance remains unchanged during the interest-only stage, then the full principal is amortized over the entered remaining months at the same annual rate.
Formula
Interest-only payment = principal x monthly rate; amortizing payment = principal x r / (1 - (1+r)^-n).

Accuracy and Limitations
This simplified model assumes a fixed rate and no principal reduction during the interest-only period. Fees, rate resets, escrow, balloon terms, and early payments are excluded.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
