Loan Overpayment Calculator

A Loan Overpayment Calculator is a practical online tool for UK borrowers who want to take control of their finances and pay off their loans faster. Whether you have a mortgage, a personal loan, or another type of borrowing from UK banks such as Lloyds, NatWest, Halifax, Nationwide, or Tesco Bank, this calculator helps you understand how making a one-off payment or increasing your regular repayments can save you money and shorten your loan term.

What is a Loan Overpayment?

Loan overpayment, also known as early repayment, occurs when you pay more than your required monthly amount. By overpaying your loan, you can:

• Reduce the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
• Shorten the loan term, allowing you to become debt-free sooner.
• Potentially lower your monthly payments, depending on your lender's terms.

Overpaying is a flexible strategy. You can choose to make a single lump sum payment (one-off payment) or add a small extra amount to your monthly repayments. Many UK borrowers use this method to manage their finances efficiently and save thousands of pounds in interest over the years.

How to Use the Loan Overpayment Calculator

Using our calculator is simple and requires just a few pieces of information:

1. Enter your current loan details: Provide your outstanding loan amount and the annual interest rate (APR).
2. Input the remaining term: Enter the number of months or years left on your loan.
3. Provide your current monthly repayment: This ensures the calculator can accurately model the impact of overpayments.
4. Choose your overpayment method: Select whether you want to make a one-off payment or add extra monthly repayments.
5. Include early repayment charges (if applicable): Some lenders, like Lloyds or Halifax, may charge a small fee for early repayment. Adding this ensures your savings estimate is accurate.
6. Click "Calculate": The calculator will instantly show:

• The interest you could save

• Any changes to your monthly repayments if you choose to maintain the same term
