Interest Rate Calculator
Back-solve the annual interest rate of a loan from its amount, monthly payment, and term — useful when a lender quotes a payment but not the rate.
How to use Interest Rate Calculator
- Enter the loan amount and the monthly payment.
- Enter the term in months or years.
- Read the implied annual interest rate.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the rate found?
- There is no closed-form solution, so the calculator solves numerically (bisection) for the rate that makes the payment match the loan over the term.
