Formula and calculation method
The payment formula uses the amount borrowed, monthly interest rate, and total number of monthly payments.
Worked example and assumptions
Compare a $25,000 loan at 7.5% over five years with a shorter term. A longer term usually lowers the payment but raises total interest.
