Formula Used
The calculation uses the standard loan payment formula:
Monthly Payment = P × r × (1 + r)^n / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12/100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in months)
Total interest is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments and subtracting the principal loan amount.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $10,000 loan with a 12% APR over 36 months:
- Monthly interest rate = 12%/12 = 1%
- Using the formula: 10,000 × 0.01 × (1.01)^36 / [(1.01)^36 - 1] ≈ $312.74
- Total interest = (312.74 × 36) - 10,000 ≈ $765.36
- Total repayment = $10,000 + $765.36 = $10,765.36
This example shows that borrowing $10,000 at 12% APR over 3 years would result in monthly payments of approximately $312.74 and total interest of $765.36.
