Formula Used in the Calculator
The Standard Chartered Credit Card Loan Calculator uses the following formula to calculate monthly payments:
Monthly Payment = (Loan Amount × (Interest Rate/12)) / (1 - (1 + Interest Rate/12)^(-Loan Term))
Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × Loan Term) - Loan Amount
Where:
- Loan Amount = The total amount you wish to borrow
- Interest Rate = The annual interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 5% = 0.05)
- Loan Term = The duration of the loan in months
Worked Example
Let's calculate a loan with the following details:
- Loan Amount: $10,000
- Interest Rate: 6% per annum
- Loan Term: 24 months
Calculation Steps
1. Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate: 6% ÷ 12 = 0.5% or 0.005
2. Calculate the monthly payment using the formula:
Monthly Payment = ($10,000 × 0.005) / (1 - (1 + 0.005)^(-24))
Monthly Payment ≈ $438.79
3. Calculate the total interest:
Total Interest = ($438.79 × 24) - $10,000 ≈ $1,330.96
In this example, the estimated monthly payment is $438.79, and the total interest over 24 months is approximately $1,331.
