Hi,

I was calculating the annuity factor from interest rate. I have amortised the loan and did the same using online loan amortisation calculator. There is a small difference in Principle, interest, total interest and total principle.

I tried several calculators and the difference exists. Why is the online calculators total interest lower than Annuity factor calculations?

Formula= Loan amount/Last year annuity factor.

Quick Summary

This discussion explores discrepancies between annuity factor calculations and online loan amortisation calculators. The user notes that online calculators consistently show a lower total interest amount compared to calculations using the annuity factor formula (Loan amount / Last year annuity factor). They suspect that online calculators might use different, proprietary formulas or include interest subsidies, making it difficult to replicate their exact results.

I also have made calculations from scratch and I was worried as their rate is different and I think they have some interest subsidy or something included on personal loan calculator. I guess no one can know about their asymmetric formulas.
