Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula to determine your monthly payment:
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a Check n Go payment for a $10,000 loan at 5% annual interest over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $10,000
- Annual interest rate = 5% or 0.05
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 0.05 / 12 ≈ 0.004167
- Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
Monthly Payment = 10,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60) / ((1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $188.24
Total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $1,694.40.
