1. What is the Loan Payment Formula?

The loan payment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including principal and interest. This is commonly used for home loans, car loans, and personal loans in the Philippines.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (PHP)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Total number of payments (months)
\( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (PHP)

Example: For a ₱1,000,000 loan at 6% annual interest for 20 years, the monthly payment would be ₱7,164.31.

3. Importance of Loan Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and comparing loan offers from different Philippine banks (e.g., BDO, BPI, Metrobank).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal in PHP, annual interest rate (e.g., 6.00 for 6%), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are typical interest rates in the Philippines?
A: As of 2023: Home loans 6-9%, car loans 6-12%, personal loans 10-24% depending on bank and credit score.

Q2: Does this include insurance and fees?
A: No, this calculates principal and interest only. Philippine banks often add fire insurance (for home loans) and processing fees.

Q3: How does loan term affect payments?

Q4: What's the difference between fixed and variable rates?
A: Fixed rates stay the same (better for budgeting), while variable rates may change with market conditions (may start lower but risk increases).

Q5: How can I reduce total interest paid?
A: Choose shorter terms, make extra payments, or negotiate lower rates. Some Philippine banks offer interest discounts for automatic salary deduction.
