Formula Used
The RAK Bank Credit Card Loan Calculator uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate monthly payments:
Monthly 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 months)
Total interest is calculated by subtracting the loan amount from the total of all monthly payments.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:
- Loan Amount: $10,000
- Loan Term: 24 months
- Interest Rate: 12% APR
Calculation Steps
- Convert annual rate to monthly: 12% ÷ 12 = 1% or 0.01
- Calculate monthly payment using the formula:
M = $10,000 [ 0.01(1 + 0.01)^24 ] / [ (1 + 0.01)^24 - 1 ]
M ≈ $457.64 - Total of all payments: $457.64 × 24 ≈ $10,983.36
- Total interest: $10,983.36 - $10,000 = $983.36
This example shows that borrowing $10,000 for 2 years at 12% APR would result in monthly payments of approximately $457.64 and total interest of $983.36.
