1. What is the BPI Motor Loan Calculator?

The BPI Motor Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for a motorcycle loan from Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI). It uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your fixed monthly payment amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in months)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount required to pay off a loan over a specified term, including both principal and interest.
