How it works
How it works
The Loan Payment Calculator uses a standard formula to compute your monthly payment, total payment, and total interest you will pay over the loan's life. It takes into account the loan amount, interest rate, and repayment period to give you accurate results.
- Monthly Interest Rate Calculation: The annual interest rate is divided by 100 to convert it to a decimal, and then by 12 to obtain the monthly interest rate.
- Monthly Payment Calculation: Using the formula:
payment = principal * monthly_rate * pow(1 + monthly_rate, months) / (pow(1 + monthly_rate, months) - 1), we calculate your monthly payment. This formula factors in the principal amount, the interest accrued over the loan term, and enables you to understand how much you need to pay each month. - Total Payment: Simply multiply your monthly payment by the total number of months in the loan term to find out how much you will pay in total over the life of the loan.
- Total Interest: Calculate the total interest paid by subtracting the initial loan amount (principal) from the total payment.
