What this calculator estimates
Estimate installment amount, fees and effective financing cost for a buy-now-pay-later purchase.
How to use it
Enter Purchase amount ($); Upfront payment ($); Remaining installments; Total plan fees ($); Expected late or service fees ($). Select Calculate to update the results.
How the calculation works
Remaining plan cost after the upfront payment is divided by the number of installments.
Worked example: starting scenario
| Purchase amount ($) | 1200 |
|---|---|
| Upfront payment ($) | 300 |
| Remaining installments | 3 |
| Total plan fees ($) | 36 |
| Expected late or service fees ($) | 0 |
| Estimated installment payment | $312.00 |
|---|---|
| Total amount paid | $1,236.00 |
| Total financing fees | $36.00 |
| Fees as % of purchase | 3% |
Important limitations
Payment timing, late fees, merchant returns and credit reporting differ by provider.
Payment count is after the down payment
The remaining-installment count excludes the upfront payment. For a $1,200 purchase, $300 upfront, $36 total plan fees and three remaining installments, each installment is ($1,200 − $300 + $36)/3 = $312. The modeled total paid is $1,236. This arithmetic does not turn the fee into an annual percentage rate or model the timing of missed payments.
