Formula Used

The motorcycle loan calculator uses the following formula to calculate monthly payments:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]

Where:

  • M = Monthly payment
  • P = Principal loan amount (Purchase price - Down payment)
  • i = Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12)
  • n = Number of payments (Loan term in years × 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on your loan balance each month, providing an accurate estimate of your monthly payments.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a motorcycle loan with these parameters:

  • Purchase price: $12,000
  • Down payment: $3,000
  • Interest rate: 5.9% APR
  • Loan term: 5 years

Principal loan amount: $12,000 - $3,000 = $9,000

Monthly interest rate: 5.9% ÷ 12 = 0.4917%

Number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60

Using the formula:

M = $9,000 [ 0.004917(1 + 0.004917)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.004917)^60 - 1 ]

M ≈ $198.32

Your estimated monthly payment would be $198.32, with a total interest of $1,188.20 over the loan term.
