The calculator uses the standard amortization formula to compute your monthly payments. You can adjust any input to see how it affects your loan terms.
Formula Used
The monthly payment (PMT) is calculated using the formula:
PMT = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
Total interest paid = (PMT × n) - P
This formula assumes fixed monthly payments and a fixed interest rate throughout the loan term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan of PHP 1,000,000 for 5 years at 12% annual interest:
- Monthly interest rate = 12% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.01 or 1%
- Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
- Monthly payment = 1,000,000 × (0.01(1.01)^60) / ((1.01)^60 - 1) ≈ PHP 22,124.50
- Total interest paid = (22,124.50 × 60) - 1,000,000 ≈ PHP 367,470
This means you would pay approximately PHP 22,124.50 per month for 5 years, with a total interest cost of PHP 367,470.
