What the APR Calculator does
APR Calculator: calculates Approx APR %, Total Cost of Credit and Total Repayment from Loan / Credit Amount, Fees / Charges and Total Interest Payable. Example: loan / credit amount 100000 ₹, fees / charges 2000 ₹ and total interest payable 12000 ₹ gives approx APR % 14.00%.
Point it at Loan / Credit Amount, Fees / Charges, Total Interest Payable and Term (years) and it returns Approx APR %, Total Cost of Credit and Total Repayment. Results refresh instantly, so trying variations costs nothing but a moment.
Seeing the total cost, not just the monthly figure, is what usually changes decisions. That is usually what brings someone checking a lender quote here.
There is no account, no upload and no server round trip, because the page does the work itself.
The sections that follow cover the fields, the method, and one full example computed from the defaults.
What do the APR Calculator fields mean?
The APR Calculator uses 4 inputs. Every field is populated on load; treat those numbers as a template rather than a suggestion.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Loan / Credit Amount | measured in ₹; accepts 1000 to 100000000 | 100000 |
| Fees / Charges | measured in ₹; accepts 0 to 10000000 | 2000 |
| Total Interest Payable | measured in ₹; accepts 0 to 100000000 | 12000 |
| Term (years) | accepts 0.1 to 40 | 1 |
How does the APR Calculator work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same calculation.
Values are checked first: an out-of-range or non-numeric entry names the offending field instead of returning nonsense.
Worked example

How to use it
- Enter Loan / Credit Amount in ₹ (1000 to 100000000).
- Set Fees / Charges in ₹ (0 to 10000000).
- Put Total Interest Payable in ₹ (0 to 100000000).
- Key in Term (years) (0.1 to 40).
- Because it recalculates as you type, you can dial a value in rather than guessing and re-running.
- You get Approx APR %, Total Cost of Credit and Total Repayment back.
- Share the link rather than a screenshot. It carries the values with it.
What this tool does not do
- Advertised rates are usually the best-case tier, not the one most applicants are offered.
- Fees, taxes and eligibility rules vary by product and are not included unless there is a field for them.
- There is no audit trail: if you need one, record the inputs alongside the output.
- Results are only as good as the inputs. Check your units before reading anything into the output.
Frequently asked questions
Enter Loan / Credit Amount in ₹, Fees / Charges in ₹ and Total Interest Payable in ₹. Look for the unit beside each label; the result is reported in a stated unit as well.

It is free to use, with no premium tier holding back the useful parts.
The calculation is precise; the assumptions are yours. Change one input and you will see how sensitive the result is, which is usually the more useful insight.
