Before using the calculator, you will need to have certain information handy for the calculator to work. You will need to provide your loan amount, interest rate, your current repayment amount and your current repayment frequency.

- Loan amount
The loan amount refers to the amount of money you have borrowed or the outstanding loan balance - Interest rate
The interest rate which can be either fixed or variable is the interest rate at which you repay the loan after the introductory rate expires - Repayment
This is referring to the regular repayment you wish to make - Repayment frequency
