Why we built this

Comparison sites are often designed to funnel you toward a specific lender or product. We wanted something different: straightforward tools that show you the real math — your monthly payment, how much goes to interest versus capital, and what it means for your budget — without pushing a particular provider.

Whether you're comparing loan terms, weighing up HP against PCP on a car, working out how long a credit card balance will really take to clear, or projecting how savings grow with compound interest, CalcHub gives you the full breakdown instantly.

How the calculations work

The loan and mortgage calculators use the standard amortisation formula, which accounts for the amount borrowed, the annual interest rate, and the repayment term. Each payment splits between interest (charged on the remaining balance) and capital (which reduces what's owed) — early payments are interest-heavy, later ones increasingly capital-heavy, which is normal for any fixed-rate amortising loan.

Car finance models Hire Purchase and PCP using the same underlying annuity math, with PCP additionally discounting a final balloon payment. The credit card calculator simulates month-by-month interest accrual against your chosen payment. The savings calculator compounds interest monthly on your balance plus any regular deposits.

The loan calculator's salary affordability panel estimates UK take-home pay using 2026/27 income tax and National Insurance rates for England and Wales, assuming the standard personal allowance. It doesn't account for student loan repayments, pension contributions, Scottish tax rates, or other individual circumstances, so treat it as a guide rather than exact payslip math.

Where our default rates come from

The loan calculator loads with a real average market rate per currency rather than an arbitrary number, so your starting point is grounded in current data:
