How the formula works
The calculator estimates a new installment payment based on consolidated loan amount, APR, and term.
It compares that payment with the monthly payment you enter for your current situation. It does not model every creditor payoff detail.
Illustrative Example
If you currently pay $450 per month and a sample consolidation loan at 11% APR over 48 months on $15,000 estimates about $388.02 per month, the potential difference is about −$61.98 per month— not guaranteed savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does a lower payment always mean I save money?
- No. A lower monthly payment with a longer term can still mean more total interest. Compare total cost, not payment alone.
