Loan Constant

The required annual cash flow needed to service both the principal and interest upon a loan obligation.

Investopedia Commentary

This value is calculated as a percentage by taking the actual value of debt repayment (interest and principal) and dividing by the remaining principal. Generally, the constant is larger than the actual quoted loan rate and increases with duration.
