Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your monthly payments:
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 (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with the following details:
- Loan Amount: $10,000
- Interest Rate: 8% per year
- Loan Term: 5 years
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 8% ÷ 12 = 0.6667% or 0.006667 in decimal
2. Calculate number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 months
3. Plug values into formula: M = 10,000 [ 0.006667(1 + 0.006667)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.006667)^60 - 1 ]
4. Calculate the result: M ≈ $193.24 per month
Your total interest paid over 5 years would be approximately $1,124.40.
