You can find it at any time on the Personal Loan Calculator page, where the calculator sits above a full explanation of the method it uses.
Tips for an accurate result
Run the numbers with a slightly worse interest rate or a slightly lower income than you expect, so you understand your margin for error.
Keep a note of the assumptions you used (rate, term, date) alongside the result — a number without its assumptions is hard to trust later.
Cross-check a big number against a second source (a bank statement, a pay stub, an official rate table) before you act on it.
If a result feels off, halve or double one input and see if the output moves the way you'd expect — it's a fast way to catch a typo.
