Formula Explained

The loan payment calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)ⁿ ] / [ (1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ]

Where:

M = Monthly payment
P = Principal loan amount ($40.00)
i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize a loan over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a monthly payment for a $40.00 loan with these terms:

Annual interest rate: 5%
Loan term: 1 year (12 months)

Using the formula:

Monthly interest rate (i) = 5% ÷ 12 = 0.0041667

Number of payments (n) = 1 × 12 = 12

M = 40 [ 0.0041667(1 + 0.0041667)¹² ] / [ (1 + 0.0041667)¹² - 1 ]

M ≈ $3.52 per month

So, for this example, your monthly payment would be approximately $3.52.
