The purpose of the Investment Loan Calculator is to illustrate how financing your investments with borrowed money can increase your return potential. To use this financial tool you will need to enter information about your loan terms, as well as information about the investment that you are considering. This tool can not only help to illustrate the potential benefits for a particular investment, but it can also help you to determine what loan terms you need to make the transaction profitable.

Investment Loan Calculator Overview

There are many ways to finance your investments. You can allocate a portion of your regular income to invest with, you can participate in an employer sponsored retirement or investment program where they match your investment contributions, or you can borrow money for investing. While this final method of financing your investments gives you more money to develop your investment portfolio with, it also creates an added element of risk. If your investment doesn't pay off, you are then stuck paying off the money that you borrowed to invest, as well as the loan interest and fees.
