About Construction Loan Calculator
Enter the construction loan amount, the annual interest rate, and the term in years. The calculator amortizes the loan over the resulting number of months and returns the monthly payment, the total interest, and the total amount paid.
It models a fully amortizing loan with equal payments. Many real construction loans instead use interest-only draws during the build, so treat this as a standard amortized estimate rather than a draw-schedule model.
