1. What is the Personal Loan Payment Formula?

The personal loan payment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over a specified term. Bank of America and other financial institutions use this standard formula for fixed-rate personal loans.

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 (USD)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Number of monthly payments (term in months)
\( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (USD)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest charges, with more interest paid early in the loan term.
