Plan consistent repayments for employee advances and loans. See balances, interest, fees, and amortization instantly. Export schedules, visualize trends, and simplify payroll deduction decisions.
Use the fields below to estimate level payments for employee advances, benefit loans, relocation support, or structured payroll recovery plans.
The graph compares remaining balance and cumulative interest across the active repayment path, making it easier to explain tradeoffs to employees or managers.
| Scenario | Loan Amount | Rate | Term | Frequency | Fee | Fee Mode | Approx. Regular Payment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relocation advance | $50,000.00 | 7.50% | 5 years | Monthly | $500.00 | Financed | $1,011.92 |
| Education support loan | $12,000.00 | 4.25% | 3 years | Monthly | $0.00 | Upfront | Calculated on submit |
| Emergency payroll advance | $4,000.00 | 0.00% | 1 year | Semi-Monthly | $0.00 | Upfront | Calculated on submit |
Periodic rate: r = annual_rate / payments_per_year
Total number of payments: n = term_years × payments_per_year
Level payment: PMT = PV × r / (1 - (1 + r)^(-n))
Zero-rate case: PMT = PV / n
Interest per period: Interest = Beginning Balance × r
Principal per period: Principal = Payment - Interest
Ending balance: Ending Balance = Beginning Balance - Principal - Extra Payment
If the fee is financed, it increases the opening balance. If the fee is upfront, it does not affect the amortized payment, but it increases total all-in cost.
A level payment loan uses the same scheduled payment amount each period. Early payments contain more interest, while later payments contain more principal. The total payment usually stays fixed unless you add extra payments or fees change the opening balance.
Payment frequency changes both the periodic rate and the number of scheduled payments. Monthly, bi-weekly, and semi-monthly deductions can produce different results even with the same annual interest rate and overall term.
Recurring extras reduce principal faster, which lowers future interest charges and often shortens the repayment timeline. The base level payment remains the same, but your total deduction per period increases by the extra amount entered.
Financed fees are added to the starting balance and therefore increase the scheduled payment. Upfront fees are paid separately, so they do not change the amortized payment, but they still increase total out-of-pocket borrowing cost.
The calculator estimates a payroll deduction ratio by dividing the recurring payment by salary per payment period. That ratio is then compared with the cap you choose, helping HR teams assess whether the deduction fits policy limits.
Yes. It works well for employee advances, relocation assistance, education support loans, or structured recovery plans. Just use the right interest rate, term, fee treatment, and payment frequency that match your internal policy.
The final payment may be slightly lower because the remaining balance becomes smaller than the normal scheduled amount. This is especially common when extra payments are used or when rounding occurs over many repayment periods.
This page uses a simple date progression for schedule display, including a 15-day step for semi-monthly timing. It is appropriate for planning and illustration, though live payroll systems may use exact company pay calendar dates.
