🚀 Why Use This Tool?

Understanding how prepayments affect your loan can lead to significant savings. This simulator helps you:

  • Visualize how years can be shaved off your loan term with strategic prepayments
  • Calculate exact interest savings from different prepayment strategies
  • Plan your financial future with interactive "what-if" scenarios
  • Make informed decisions about where to allocate extra funds

📊 How It Works

The simulator uses standard amortization formulas to calculate how your loan balance changes over time. Key inputs include:

  1. Original loan amount: The principal you initially borrowed
  2. Remaining principal: Current outstanding balance
  3. Monthly EMI: Your regular payment amount
  4. Interest rate: Annual percentage rate
  5. Extra payments: Both one-time lump sums and recurring additional payments

As you adjust these parameters, the calculator instantly updates the amortization schedule and visualization to show your new payoff trajectory.

🛠️ Technologies Used

  • React: For building the interactive UI components
  • Recharts: For data visualization
  • Tailwind CSS: For responsive styling and dark/light mode
  • Lucide Icons: For beautiful, consistent iconography

🧮 Mathematical Foundation

The simulator calculates loan amortization using the standard formula:

For each payment period:

  1. Calculate interest: Interest = Outstanding Balance × (Annual Rate ÷ Periods Per Year)
  2. Calculate principal payment: Principal = Regular Payment + Extra Payment - Interest
  3. Update balance: New Balance = Previous Balance - Principal Payment

🔍 Use Cases

  • Home Mortgage Analysis: See how additional payments can reduce your 30-year mortgage
  • Student Loan Planning: Develop a strategy to eliminate student debt faster
  • Auto Loan Optimization: Determine if making extra payments on your car loan makes financial sense
  • Personal Loan Management: Visualize the quickest path to debt freedom
