What is Kalkulator Kredytowy?
A Kalkulator Kredytowy (Polish for Credit Calculator) is a financial tool designed to help borrowers understand the costs associated with taking out a loan. Whether you are looking at a mortgage, a personal loan, or an auto loan, understanding the relationship between the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term is crucial for financial health.
This calculator goes beyond simple monthly payment estimations. By allowing you to solve for different variables, it helps you answer questions like “How much credit can I afford with a $1000 monthly budget?” or “How quickly can I pay off my debt if I increase my monthly payments?” using the exact same mathematical principles used by banks.
How to Calculate (Example)
Let’s assume you want to borrow $200,000 at an interest rate of 4.5% for 30 years.
- Convert Rate: Divide 4.5% by 12 to get 0.375% (0.00375) per month.
- Calculate Months: Multiply 30 years by 12 to get 360 months.
- Apply Formula: Input these values into the amortization formula.
- Result: The calculation yields a monthly payment of approximately $1,013.37.
