Formula and Assumptions

The payment calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

P = (r * PV) / (1 - (1 + r)^(-n)) Where: P = Monthly payment r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12) PV = Principal amount (loan amount) n = Number of payments (loan term in years * 12)

Assumptions:

The interest rate is fixed for the entire loan term.
Payments are made at the end of each period.
No additional fees or penalties are included.

Worked Examples

Example 1: $100,000 Loan at 5% Interest for 30 Years

Using the formula:

r = 0.05 / 12 = 0.0041667 n = 30 * 12 = 360 P = (0.0041667 * 100000) / (1 - (1 + 0.0041667)^(-360)) P ≈ $660.96

Your monthly payment would be approximately $660.96.

Example 2: $50,000 Loan at 3.5% Interest for 15 Years

Using the formula:

r = 0.035 / 12 ≈ 0.0029167 n = 15 * 12 = 180 P = (0.0029167 * 50000) / (1 - (1 + 0.0029167)^(-180)) P ≈ $340.15

Your monthly payment would be approximately $340.15.
