Working out how much I owe

Is there any calculators that will help me work out how much I still owe on my flexible loan? I have the statement from Dec, but have not received one for Jan. On 23rd December my balance was £1486.23, since then I have made 2 payments of £120.00/month and the interest rate is 16.61%APR. Just trying to work out the figures for the snowball calculator.

Does £1279.43 sound about right?
Thanks in advance

    The calculation goes something like this :-
    An APR of 16.61% is equivalent to 1.289% pm (compound).
    
    Dec balance       1486.23
    Interest         +  19.15 (1.289% of £1486.23)
                    ----------
                      1505.38
    Payment 1        - 120.00
                    ----------
    Balance           1385.38
    Interest         +  17.85 (1.289% of £1385.38)
                     ---------
                      1403.23
    Payment 2        - 120.00
                     --------
    Balance           1283.23
    
    So your figure is about right according to my calculations.
