Loan Calculations

Calculate your loan payments and interest using the USAA finance calculator. Enter the loan amount, interest rate, and term to see your monthly payment and total interest paid.

Loan Payment Formula

The monthly payment for a loan is calculated using the 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 (term in months)

For example, a $20,000 loan at 4.5% annual interest for 5 years would have a monthly payment of approximately $389.50.

Investment Calculations

Estimate your investment growth using the USAA finance calculator. Enter the initial investment, annual return rate, and investment period to see your future value.

Future Value Formula

The future value of an investment is calculated using the formula:

FV = P(1 + r)n

Where:

  • FV = Future value
  • P = Principal investment amount
  • r = Annual interest rate
  • n = Number of years

For example, investing $5,000 at 6% annual return for 10 years would grow to approximately $8,282.43.
