Loan Calculator with Amortization Schedule

This loan calculator helps you understand the true cost of borrowing in Denmark. Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate and repayment period to instantly see your monthly payment, total cost and a detailed month-by-month amortization schedule. The calculator uses the standard annuity method, which is the most common repayment structure for Danish personal loans.

How Annuity Loans Work

With an annuity loan, you pay the same fixed amount every month throughout the loan term. In the beginning, a large portion of each payment goes toward interest, while only a small part reduces the principal. Over time, the interest portion decreases and more of your payment goes toward paying down the debt.

Tips for Comparing Loan Offers in Denmark

When comparing loans from Danish banks and lenders, always look at the ÅOP rather than just the nominal interest rate, as ÅOP includes fees and charges. Use this calculator to model different scenarios — try adjusting the term or interest rate to see how it affects your total cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an annuity loan?

An annuity loan has fixed monthly payments throughout the loan term. Each payment consists of an interest portion and a principal repayment portion. Over time, the interest share decreases while the principal repayment share increases.

What is the difference between nominal interest rate and ÅOP?

The nominal interest rate only reflects the base cost of borrowing. ÅOP (årlige omkostninger i procent) includes all fees, charges, and administration costs, giving a true picture of the total annual cost. Danish law requires lenders to disclose ÅOP.

Can I pay off my loan early in Denmark?

Yes, Danish consumer credit law gives you the right to repay a loan early, fully or partially. The lender may charge a small early repayment fee, but for most consumer loans it is capped by regulation from Finanstilsynet.

How does the loan term affect total cost?

A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but significantly higher total interest costs. A shorter term has higher monthly payments but saves you money overall. Even one year less can save thousands of kroner in interest.
