Formula Used

Monthly Payment Formula

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

Where:

M = Monthly payment
P = Principal loan amount
i = Monthly interest rate (APR/12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $25,000 loan with a 4.5% APR over 5 years:

Monthly interest rate = 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly payment = $25,000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^60 - 1 ] ≈ $452.38
Total interest paid = ($452.38 × 60) - $25,000 ≈ $1,124.80

This example shows the estimated monthly payment and total interest for this loan scenario.
