Loan Payment Formula

M = P × [r(1+r)ⁿ] ÷ [(1+r)ⁿ – 1]
M = Monthly payment
P = Principal (loan amount)
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
n = Total number of payments (years × 12)

ℹ️ Total interest paid = (M × n) – P

Frequently Asked Questions

💡

Pro Tips

1

Even a 0.5% lower interest rate saves thousands over the life of a loan. Shop at least 3 lenders and get pre-approval before committing — lenders compete on rate when they know you have options.

2

Making one extra payment per year directly toward principal can shorten a 30-year mortgage by 4–6 years and save over $30,000 in interest on a typical home loan.

3

Your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes fees the interest rate does not — always compare APR, not just rate, when evaluating lender offers.

4

Bi-weekly payments (half the monthly amount every 2 weeks) result in 26 half-payments per year — equivalent to 13 full monthly payments instead of 12, accelerating payoff.
