Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the monthly payment:

Monthly Payment = (Loan Amount × (Interest Rate/12)) / (1 - (1 + (Interest Rate/12))^(-Loan Term))

Where:

Loan Amount = The amount you want to borrow
Interest Rate = The annual interest rate (APR)
Loan Term = The number of months to repay the loan

Assumptions

Interest is compounded monthly
No prepayment penalties
Fixed interest rate throughout the loan term
No additional fees or charges

Formula Explained

The calculator uses a standard loan amortization formula to calculate your monthly payments. The formula accounts for both the principal amount and the interest charged over the loan term.

Monthly Payment = (P × (r/12)) / (1 - (1 + (r/12))^(-n))

Where:

P = Principal loan amount
r = Annual interest rate (as a decimal)
n = Number of months

This formula helps you understand how much you'll need to pay each month to fully repay the loan, including interest.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you want to borrow ₱50,000 at an annual interest rate of 18% for 12 months.

Example Calculation

Monthly Payment = (₱50,000 × (0.18/12)) / (1 - (1 + (0.18/12))^(-12))

Monthly Payment = (₱50,000 × 0.015) / (1 - (1.015)^(-12))

Monthly Payment = ₱750 / (1 - 0.8875)

Monthly Payment = ₱750 / 0.1125

Monthly Payment = ₱6,666.67

In this example, your monthly payment would be approximately ₱6,666.67. The total amount repaid would be ₱79,999.92, with ₱19,999.92 going to interest.
