Important: Payday loans often have high interest rates and fees. Always consider all options before taking out a payday loan.
Formula Explained
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your monthly payment:
Monthly Payment = (Loan Amount × Daily Interest Rate) / (1 - (1 + Daily Interest Rate)^-Loan Term)
Where:
- Daily Interest Rate = Annual Percentage Rate (APR) / 365
- Loan Term = Number of days until repayment
This formula accounts for the compounding interest that applies to payday loans. The calculator also calculates the total interest paid over the loan term.
Worked Example
Let's say you take out a $300 payday loan with a 365% APR that's due in 14 days:
- Daily Interest Rate = 365% / 365 = 1.00% or 0.01
- Monthly Payment = ($300 × 0.01) / (1 - (1 + 0.01)^-14)
- Monthly Payment ≈ $30.65
- Total Interest Paid = $30.65 - $300 = $6.65
This example shows how quickly interest can add up on short-term loans. Always compare these numbers with your actual financial situation.
