Understanding Your Navy Federal Loan Payment
Navy Federal Credit Union offers a variety of loans, from auto loans and personal loans to mortgages and home equity lines of credit. Understanding how your monthly payment is calculated is crucial for financial planning. This calculator helps you estimate your payments based on the principal loan amount, the annual interest rate, and the loan term.
How is the Monthly Payment Calculated?
The standard formula used to calculate the monthly payment (M) for an amortizing loan is:
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n – 1]
Where:
M = Your total monthly loan payment
P = The principal loan amount (the amount you borrow)
i = Your *monthly* interest rate (the annual rate divided by 12)
n = The total number of *payments* over the loan's lifetime (loan term in years multiplied by 12 for months)
For example, if you borrow $25,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.5% for 60 months:
This calculation results in an estimated monthly payment. This calculator automates this process for you.
