1. What is a Buy To Let Repayment Calculator?

The Buy To Let Repayment Calculator helps property investors calculate their mortgage repayments for rental properties. It estimates monthly payments, total repayment amount, and total interest over the loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan repayment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of Repayment Calculation

Details: Accurate repayment calculation is crucial for property investors to assess affordability, cash flow projections, and potential rental yields.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount, annual interest rate, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
