How Installment Repayment Is Calculated
Standard installment loans utilize amortization, where equal monthly payments are calculated using the formula:
Where M is the monthly payment, P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate (APR divided by 12), and n is the total number of monthly payments.
Key Takeaways for Borrowers:
- Shorter Terms: Pay higher monthly payments, but significantly reduce total interest paid over time.
- Longer Terms: Lower your required monthly payment, but increase the overall total interest cost of borrowing.
- Prepayment Benefits: Repaying your loan early can reduce total interest charges if your lender charges no prepayment penalties.
