1. What is the Loan Payment Formula?

The loan payment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over a specified term, including interest. It's commonly used by Luxembourg banks for personal loan calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the life of the loan to determine a fixed monthly payment that will completely pay off the loan by the end of the term.

3. Importance of Loan Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and ensures the loan is affordable. Luxembourg banks typically use this calculation for personal loan approvals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in EUR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in months. All values must be positive numbers.
