Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard loan 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/12/100)
n = Number of payments (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 $200,000 loan with a 4.5% APR over 30 years:
- Principal (P) = $200,000
- Annual interest rate = 4.5%
- Monthly interest rate (i) = 4.5%/12/100 = 0.00375
- Number of payments (n) = 30 × 12 = 360
- Plugging into the formula:
M = 200000 [ 0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^360 ] / [ (1 + 0.00375)^360 - 1 ]
- The calculation yields a monthly payment of approximately $1,143.54.
This example shows the estimated monthly payment for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in Hawaii.
