Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to determine monthly payments:

Monthly Payment = P * (r(1+r)^n) / ((1+r)^n - 1) Where: P = Principal loan amount (current balance) r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12) n = Number of payments (repayment term in months)

This is the standard loan payment formula that accounts for both principal and interest over the repayment period.

Worked Example

Let's calculate monthly payments for a £2,000 balance with a 19.9% APR and a 36-month repayment term.

Monthly Interest Rate = 19.9% / 12 = 1.658% Monthly Payment = £2,000 * (0.01658*(1+0.01658)^36) / ((1+0.01658)^36 - 1) Monthly Payment ≈ £65.24

This means you would need to make monthly payments of approximately £65.24 to pay off your £2,000 balance in 3 years.
