About LoanMetra

LoanMetra exists to make the true cost of a loan obvious before you sign.

Our mission

Loan terms read like fine print. Interest rates get quoted one way, then cost something else once fees, compounding and repayment schedules are folded in. Our goal is simple: make the real cost of a loan transparent and easy to understand before you commit to anything.

We built the loan calculator around the exact amortization math lenders use. When you see a total interest figure or a monthly payment on LoanMetra, it is the same formula your lender would apply to your balance.

Your numbers stay in your browser

Every calculation on LoanMetra runs entirely in your browser. When you type in an amount, a rate and a term, that information is processed locally on your device and never sent to our servers.

We deliberately do not store loan figures, track individual searches, or build profiles from the amounts you enter. There is no account, no login and no central database holding your loan details. What you type stays with you.

How the math works

For a monthly-payment loan, the calculator uses the standard amortization formula. Each payment is split into two parts: interest charged on the current balance and a portion of principal that reduces the loan.

In the early months, most of a payment goes to interest because the balance is large. As the balance declines, the interest share shrinks and more of each payment is applied to principal. The result is the familiar amortization schedule that lenders reproduce on your statement.

Because interest is charged on the outstanding balance, small changes in the rate or term can shift the total cost noticeably. The calculator recomputes the full schedule instantly so you can see the effect of a lower rate or an extra payment before you choose.

What we are not

LoanMetra is a planning tool, not a lender. We do not approve, deny or originate loans, and we do not run credit checks. Nothing on this site is an offer of credit or financial advice.

Use the numbers to compare scenarios, understand your options and walk into any discussion with a lender well-informed. The final decision, the actual rate and the real terms are always determined by the lender you work with.
