A deferred payment loan allows you to postpone payments for a specified period, typically at the start of the loan. During this deferment period, interest continues to accrue on the outstanding balance. When deferment ends, you begin making regular payments, often on a larger balance because unpaid interest may be capitalized (added to the principal). This Deferred Payment Loan Calculator helps you understand the true cost of deferment. Enter your loan amount, interest rate, deferment period, and repayment term. The calculator shows interest accrued during deferment, your new loan balance, and your monthly payments after deferment. Toolraxy built this calculator to help borrowers evaluate deferred payment options and plan for future payments.

Monthly interest rate:
r = Annual Interest Rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100
Interest accrued during deferment (simple monthly):
Deferment Interest = Loan Amount × r × Deferment Months
Capitalized balance (if interest is capitalized):
Capitalized Balance = Loan Amount + Deferment Interest
Balance if interest is paid separately:
Balance After Deferment = Loan Amount
Monthly payment after deferment (capitalized):
Monthly Payment = Capitalized Balance × [ r(1+r)^n ] / [ (1+r)^n – 1 ]
Monthly payment after deferment (interest paid separately):
Monthly Payment = Loan Amount × [ r(1+r)^n ] / [ (1+r)^n – 1 ]
Total payments over repayment period:
Total Payments = Monthly Payment × Repayment Months
Total interest paid (capitalized scenario):
Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × Repayment Months) – Capitalized Balance
Total cost of deferment:
Where:
r = Monthly interest rate
n = Number of monthly payments during repayment period (years × 12)
Deferment Period = Months of postponed payments
Capitalization = Adding unpaid interest to the principal balance
Example scenario:
Loan amount: $30,000
Interest rate: 7.0%
Loan term: 5 years (60 months)
Deferment period: 12 months
Interest capitalized: Yes
Calculations:
Monthly interest rate: 7.0% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.005833
Deferment interest: $30,000 × 0.005833 × 12 = $2,100
Capitalized balance: $30,000 + $2,100 = $32,100
Monthly payment (after deferment): $635.62
Total payments: $635.62 × 60 = **$38,137**
Total interest paid: $38,137 – $32,100 = $6,037
Comparison (no deferment, immediate repayment):
Monthly payment (60 months): $594.04
Total payments: $594.04 × 60 = $35,642
Total interest: $5,642
Cost of deferment: $2,495
1. What is a deferred payment loan?
A deferred payment loan allows you to postpone payments for a specified period at the start of the loan. Interest continues to accrue during deferment and may be capitalized (added to the principal balance) when repayment begins.
2. How does a deferred payment loan work?
You borrow money, make no payments for a defined period, then begin regular payments. During deferment, interest accrues. When repayment starts, payments are calculated on either the original balance (if interest was paid separately) or the larger capitalized balance.
3. What is interest capitalization?
Capitalization is when unpaid interest is added to the principal balance. This increases your loan balance and future monthly payments. Capitalization occurs at the end of deferment if interest was not paid during that time.
4. What is the difference between deferment and forbearance?
Deferment is a scheduled postponement of payments, often for student loans, mortgages, or specific loan programs. Forbearance is a temporary reduction or postponement of payments due to financial hardship. Both accrue interest but differ in purpose and eligibility.
5. What loans offer deferred payment options?
Deferred payment options are common for student loans, construction loans, some auto loans, and certain personal loans. Some mortgage programs also offer deferment for specific situations.
6. Does interest accrue during deferment?
Yes. Unless the loan is subsidized (where interest is paid by a third party), interest accrues during deferment. This increases your total loan cost. This calculator shows exactly how much interest accrues.
7. How is the monthly payment calculated after deferment?
After deferment, the monthly payment is calculated on either the original balance or the capitalized balance, depending on whether interest was paid during deferment. Use the repayment term to calculate.
8. What is the cost of deferment?
The cost of deferment is the additional interest you pay compared to making payments immediately. This calculator shows the deferment cost in dollars.
