How It Calculates the Results
This calculator uses the following parameters to compute the loan details:
- Principal: The initial amount of the loan.
- Annual Interest Rate: The yearly interest rate charged on the borrowed amount.
- Loan Term:
- Payments Per Year: The number of installments to be made annually.
The formula used for calculating the monthly payment (PMT) is derived from the standard loan amortization formula:
PMT = [P * r * (1 + r)^n ] / [ (1 + r)^n - 1 ]
Where:
- P is the loan principal.
- r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12).
- n is the number of total payments (loan term in years multiplied by number of payments per year).
Calculator Limitations
While this calculator provides accurate results for standard loans, it has some limitations:
- It does not take into account variable interest rates.
