Formula Used
The loan payment is calculated using the following formula:
Loan Payment Formula
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (Annual interest rate / 12 / 100)
- n = Number of payments (Loan term in years × 12)
Total interest is calculated by subtracting the loan amount from the total payment. The total payment is the sum of the monthly payments over the loan term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with the following details:
- Loan Amount: PHP 500,000
- Loan Term: 5 years
- Interest Rate: 6% per annum
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual interest rate to monthly: 6% / 12 = 0.5% or 0.005
2. Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
3. Plug values into formula: Monthly Payment = 500,000 × (0.005(1 + 0.005)^60) / ((1 + 0.005)^60 - 1)
4. Calculate monthly payment: PHP 10,204.50
5. Total payment: 10,204.50 × 60 = PHP 612,270.00
6. Total interest: 612,270.00 - 500,000 = PHP 112,270.00
This example shows that a PHP 500,000 loan at 6% interest over 5 years would require monthly payments of PHP 10,204.50, with a total interest of PHP 112,270.00.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between simple and compound interest?
- Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal and the accumulated interest of previous periods. Compound interest typically results in higher total payments over time.
- How does the loan term affect my monthly payments?
- A longer loan term means lower monthly payments but higher total interest paid. A shorter loan term means higher monthly payments but lower total interest paid. Choose a term that fits your budget and financial goals.
- Can I adjust the interest rate in the calculator?
- Yes, you can enter any interest rate to see how it affects your monthly payments and total interest. This helps you understand the impact of different interest rates on your loan.
- Is the amortization schedule accurate?
- Yes, the amortization schedule is calculated using the same formula as the monthly payment. It shows how your loan is paid off over time, including the principal and interest components of each payment.
