Understanding Your Loan Payment Calculation
This calculator helps you estimate the monthly payment for a fixed-rate loan. Wells Fargo offers a variety of loan products, including personal loans, auto loans, and home equity lines of credit, each with potentially different terms and interest rate structures. This calculator uses the standard amortization formula, which is a common method for calculating payments on many types of loans.
The Math Behind the Calculation
The formula used to calculate the monthly payment (M) for a loan is as follows:
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n – 1]
P = Principal loan amount (the total amount borrowed, e.g., $loanAmount)
i = Monthly interest rate. This is calculated by dividing the Annual Interest Rate by 12 (i.e., Annual Interest Rate / 100 / 12).
n = Total number of payments. This is calculated by multiplying the Loan Term in Years by 12 (i.e., Loan Term (Years) * 12).
Example:
Let's say you're looking to borrow $25,000 (P) with an annual interest rate of 5.5% and a loan term of 5 years.
So, the estimated monthly payment would be approximately $477.88.
