Settlement Calculator by Date

This app will calculate the settlement figure of a regulated loan using the Actuarial method, as required by the (Early Settlement) Regulations 2004 in the UK. This formula assumes all payments are made on time. It includes 28 days extra interest on loans up to 12 months (or equivalent) and 58 days on loans over 12 months (or equivalent), plus any extra days elapsed since the last due date.

Overview

This calculator works out the regulated early-settlement figure to a precise date rather than a whole number of months. From the date of the first repayment it counts how many periods have actually run and how many extra days have elapsed since the last due date, then applies the actuarial method and the statutory deferment interest from the Consumer Credit (Early Settlement) Regulations 2004. It handles monthly, weekly, fortnightly and four-weekly agreements.

Because it measures the exact number of days, it also adds interest for the days beyond the last scheduled payment, which the whole-month settlement calculator cannot. Enter the current balance and it returns both the theoretical settlement on the agreement and the rebate to apply to that balance, giving the amount needed to settle today.

How it works

01
Enter the agreement and dates

Loan amount, number of periods, the repayment amounts, the repayment frequency, the date of the first repayment and the current balance.

02
We count the time elapsed

The calculator works out how many periods have run and how many extra days have passed since the last due date, up to today.

03
Get the settlement to date

The actuarial method is applied with the statutory deferment (28 or 58 days) plus those extra days, giving the rebate and the settlement figure for today's date.

Worked example

A £5,000 agreement settled twelve months in

Take a £5,000 agreement over 24 monthly payments of £250, with the first payment on 12 July 2025, settled on 11 July 2026 with a current balance of £2,900. The calculator finds that 12 periods have run with 29 extra days since the last due date, an APR of 19.7%, and payments made of £3,000.

The theoretical settlement on the agreement works out at £2,845.96. Applying the resulting rebate of £154.04 to the £2,900 balance gives a settlement figure of £2,745.96 to close the agreement today.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the standard settlement calculator?
The standard calculator works from a whole number of months. This one works from the date of your first repayment to today, counting the exact periods and extra days, and it supports weekly, fortnightly and four-weekly agreements as well as monthly.
What are the extra days?
The number of days that have passed since your last scheduled payment. The Regulations let the lender charge interest for a short deferment period, and this calculator adds those extra elapsed days to it.
What repayment frequencies are supported?
Monthly, weekly, fortnightly (two-weekly) and four-weekly. Choose the frequency and enter the number of periods in the term accordingly.
What is the difference between theoretical and actual settlement?
The theoretical settlement is the figure the actuarial method produces from the agreement. Your actual settlement applies the resulting rebate to your current balance, which is what you actually pay.
Why is the deferment 28 or 58 days?
The Regulations allow 28 days of extra interest on agreements up to a year (or the equivalent number of periods) and 58 days on longer agreements, reflecting the notice period for settlement.
