Formula Used

The Ontario Payment Calculator uses the following formula to calculate payments:

Payment = (Principal × Rate × Time) / (1 - (1 + Rate)^(-Time))

Where:

Principal = The initial amount of money
Rate = The interest rate per period
Time = The number of periods

This formula is based on standard financial calculations for compound interest payments.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works:

Suppose you need to calculate a monthly payment for a $10,000 loan with a 5% annual interest rate over 5 years.

Convert the annual rate to a monthly rate: 5% ÷ 12 = 0.4167% or 0.004167 in decimal
Convert years to months: 5 × 12 = 60 months
Plug the values into the formula:

Payment = ($10,000 × 0.004167 × 60) / (1 - (1 + 0.004167)^(-60))

= ($250) / (1 - 0.7896)

= $250 / 0.2104

= $1,188.00

The calculator would display a monthly payment of $1,188.00 for this example.
