Why calculator results differ

Same rate number. Different mathematics.

Flat rate / profit

Interest or profit is calculated on the original financed amount for the full term, then divided equally across the months.

interest = principal × annual rate × years

Reducing-balance APR

Each instalment reduces principal, so later interest is charged on a smaller balance. The standard amortisation formula is used.

payment = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ ÷ ((1+r)ⁿ−1)

Why the bank may differ

Deferred first payments, rounded schedules, valuation, financed insurance, fees, promotional structures and the bank’s actual quote can change the result.

Compared with public calculators

One input model, both common methods.

Official calculators use different fields and terminology. This page keeps the mathematics separate so a visitor can reproduce the method stated in a bank quotation.
