Formula Used
The monthly payment for a credit card loan is calculated using the following formula:
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
Total interest paid is calculated by subtracting the principal loan amount from the total repayment amount.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the monthly payment for a $5,000 loan with a 12% annual interest rate over 5 years:
- Principal (P) = $5,000
- Annual interest rate = 12%
- Monthly interest rate (r) = 12% ÷ 12 = 1% = 0.01
- Loan term in months (n) = 5 × 12 = 60
Plugging these values into the formula:
Monthly Payment = $5,000 × (0.01(1 + 0.01)^60) / ((1 + 0.01)^60 - 1)
Monthly Payment ≈ $98.71
Total repayment amount = $98.71 × 60 = $5,922.60
Total interest paid = $5,922.60 - $5,000 = $922.60
