Formula Explained

The monthly payment for a loan is calculated using the standard loan payment formula:

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
n = Number of payments (loan term in months)

For a 0.9% APR, the monthly interest rate is 0.9%/12 = 0.075%.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $10,000 loan with a 0.9% APR over 60 months:

Monthly Payment = $10,000 × (0.00075(1 + 0.00075)^60) / ((1 + 0.00075)^60 - 1)

Monthly Payment ≈ $168.73

Over 60 months, you would pay a total of $10,123.80, with $123.80 in interest.
