Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the monthly payment:

Monthly Payment = (Loan Amount × Daily Interest Rate) / (1 - (1 + Daily Interest Rate)^(-Loan Term in Days))

Where Daily Interest Rate = Annual Percentage Rate / 365

This formula accounts for the daily compounding nature of payday loans. The total interest is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments minus the original loan amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a $500 loan with a 365-day term at 365% APR:

  1. Daily interest rate = 365% / 365 = 1% or 0.01
  2. Monthly payment = (500 × 0.01) / (1 - (1.01)^(-365)) ≈ $14.29
  3. Total interest = (14.29 × 365) - 500 ≈ $5,170.85

This example shows how quickly payday loans can accumulate significant interest. Always borrow responsibly and consider alternatives to payday loans.
