Payment Calculator FAQ
How is the monthly payment calculated?▼
Monthly payment uses the amortization formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1], where P is principal, r is monthly rate, and n is number of payments.
Does a longer loan term reduce my payment?▼
Yes, a longer term lowers your monthly payment but increases total interest paid over the life of the loan significantly.
What factors affect my loan payment?▼
The three primary factors are loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. A higher amount or rate increases payments, while a longer term decreases them.
