Worked Example
Let's calculate a $65,000 loan with a 5.5% annual interest rate over 5 years:
- Monthly interest rate = 5.5% / 12 = 0.4583%
- Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
- Using the formula:
M = 65000 [ 0.004583(1 + 0.004583)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004583)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ $1,375.50
Your monthly payment would be approximately $1,375.50, with a total interest of $12,300 and total amount paid of $77,300.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between APR and interest rate?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the total cost of borrowing, including fees, while the interest rate is the actual cost of the loan. APR is always higher than the interest rate.
How does loan term affect my monthly payment?
A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but more total interest paid. A shorter term means higher monthly payments but less total interest.
What is the difference between fixed and variable rate loans?
Fixed rate loans have the same interest rate throughout the loan term, while variable rate loans adjust with market rates, which can change your payments over time.
