This very stripped-down and cost-free loan calculation tool helps users quickly determine interest rate, terms, and payments, but it lacks any sort of advanced features. The program's interface is beyond simple, with input fields for loan amount, annual interest rate, total number of payments, and payments per year. Once you've typed in all four of these variables, Loan Calculator by Schwenk instantly returns the results. The program lacks the ability to save or export information, but it does allow you to print the figures. If you want a quick way to figure monthly payments on amortization loans, this application will suffice, but if you need to do anything else, you'll need to look elsewhere.
Performs all handy amortization functions for simple personal finance. Good interface. Easty to run and install.
Cons
Does not have option to automatically figure out number of monthly payments from number of years in loan term.

Hoped for more than just basic features. Wanted to be able to use different variables in the calculator. (i.e. How much can I afford if payment is "x" dollars)?
This was what I needed in a pinch

Why can't other programmers realize less is more. This is basic, functional and easy to use. I use it all the time.
Calculate loan payments for your car and home.Loan Calculator by Schwenk is easy to use, intuitive, and free. The application calculates loan payments on cars, homes, refinances, or anything else. You tell it how much, how long, and at what rate, and it will figure out the amortized payment. It's great for comparing different rates, and terms for various loans, and useful for both borrowers and lenders. It's fully functional and free, with no annoying pop-ups or ads. A voluntary $3 fee is requested if you find the program useful.
