Worked Example

Let's say you want to finance a $30,000 RV with a 5-year loan at a 5% annual interest rate. Here's how the calculation works:

1. Convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate: 5% ÷ 12 = 0.4167% or 0.004167 in decimal.
2. Calculate the number of payments: 5 years × 12 = 60 payments.
3. Plug the values into the formula:

   M = $30,000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)⁶⁰ ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)⁶⁰ - 1 ]

4. The calculation yields a monthly payment of approximately $579.50.
5. Total interest paid: $30,000 × 60 - $30,000 = $10,740.
6. Total amount paid: $30,000 + $10,740 = $40,740.

This example shows that financing a $30,000 RV over 5 years at 5% interest would result in monthly payments of about $579.50, with a total interest cost of $10,740.
