Easily calculate repayments, compare overpayment strategies and track your loans and mortgages in one clear app. LoanBee helps you understand your monthly repayments, total interest and estimated payoff date. Calculate using a fixed term or target monthly payment, then explore how changes to the interest rate, repayment term or overpayment amount could affect the cost of your borrowing. Clear charts and a month-by-month amortisation schedule show how each payment is divided between principal and interest, helping you see where your money goes over time. Save your loans and mortgages to follow their progress. Track mortgage deals, record regular or lump-sum overpayments and update balances using figures from your lender. LoanBee estimates how much interest you may save and how much sooner you could repay what you owe. Whether you are planning a mortgage, car loan, personal loan or another big purchase, LoanBee helps you explore your options and make more informed plans. LoanBee supports GBP, USD, EUR and PLN and is available in English and Polish. Calculations are estimates for planning purposes and may differ from lender figures.
