$100000 Loan - How Much Will You Actually Pay?
Interest, origination fee, annual insurance - three cost layers that the monthly payment hides. Enter your loan details and get a single honest total showing how much you actually pay above the borrowed amount.
You borrow $100000 but how much do you actually repay? The total cost includes interest (the biggest chunk), origination fees (typically 0-3%), and insurance. On a 25-year mortgage the total interest alone can exceed the borrowed amount. Enter your rate, term and fees to see the exact total cost.

Interest, fees, insurance - one total that tells the truth
The monthly payment on a $300,000 mortgage at 7% for 25 years is $2,120. That number tells you what leaves your account each month. It does not tell you that you will repay $636,101 in total, that $336,101 of that is interest, and that a 1% origination fee and 0.3% annual insurance push the total cost above $361,000. This calculator sums every component into one figure so you can compare offers on the number that actually matters.

What hidden costs do to a $50,000 loan
Three versions of the same $50,000 personal loan at 8.5% for 5 years:
| Version | Fee | Insurance | Total cost | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No extras | 0% | 0% | $11,595 | 1.23x |
| With fee | 3% | 0% | $13,095 | 1.26x |
| Full package | 3% | 0.4% | $14,095 | 1.28x |
The monthly payment in all three versions is $1,027. Fees and insurance are paid separately or upfront, so the monthly figure hides $2,500 in extra cost between the cheapest and most expensive version.
On a $300,000 / 7% / 25-year mortgage with 1% fee and 0.3% insurance, the total cost reaches $361,601. The multiplier: 2.21x - you repay more than double the borrowed amount.
A $50,000 / 9% / 3-year loan with 2% fee costs $8,197 total (1.16x). The same loan at 7 years: $17,898 (1.36x). Shorter terms save proportionally more because the fee is fixed while interest is not.
Practical examples
$200,000 at 6% for 30 years, no extras - total interest: $131,677. Multiplier: 1.66x. For every $100 borrowed, you repay $166.
$200,000 at 6% for 30 years, 2% fee + 0.3% insurance - total cost: $149,677. The fee ($4,000) and insurance ($18,000 over 30 years) add $22,000 above pure interest.
$400,000 at 7.5% for 20 years, 1% fee - interest: $373,369. Fee: $4,000. Total cost: $377,369. Multiplier: 1.94x.
$100,000 at 5% for 15 years, no extras - total interest: $42,343. Same loan over 30 years: $93,256. Doubling the term more than doubles the interest.
$30,000 personal loan at 12% for 3 years, 4% fee - interest: $5,960. Fee: $1,200. Total cost: $7,160. The fee adds 20% to the cost of borrowing.
