Formula Used
Monthly Payment Formula
The monthly payment (PMT) for a personal loan is calculated using the formula:
PMT = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount
- r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
- n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $10,000 loan at 5% annual interest for 5 years (60 months):
Example Calculation
Monthly interest rate = 5% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.004167
Number of payments = 5 × 12 = 60
Monthly payment = $10,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^60) / ((1 + 0.004167)^60 - 1) ≈ $182.87
Total interest paid = ($182.87 × 60) - $10,000 ≈ $1,366.20
