Przelicznik Odsetek Formula
The przelicznik odsetek converts the annual percentage rate (APR) and loan term into a monetary interest value. We derive this by first calculating the amortization schedule and then subtracting the principal from the total repayment:
Variables
- M: Monthly installment amount.
- n: Total number of months (Years × 12).
- P: Principal loan amount.

What is Przelicznik Odsetek?
Przelicznik Odsetek (Interest Converter) is a financial utility that “converts” raw loan data—like percentages and years—into tangible cash figures. In the Polish financial context, it is often used to answer: “How much interest will I pay in total?”
Unlike a standard payment calculator, a przelicznik odsetek focuses on the cost of capital. It helps users visualize how converting a 30-year term to a 15-year term drastically changes the total interest paid, even if the monthly payment increases.
How to Calculate Przelicznik Odsetek (Example)
Let’s convert the interest for a $100,000 loan at 5% for 20 years.
- Convert Rate: 5% annual / 12 = 0.416% monthly.
- Convert Term: 20 years × 12 = 240 months.
- Find Payment: The tool calculates approx $659.96/mo.
- Total Conversion: ($659.96 × 240) – $100,000 = $58,390.40 total interest.
