How Installment Payments Are Calculated
Standard personal loans use a traditional fixed amortization formula. The monthly payment (M) is determined by:
M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1]
- M: Total Monthly Payment.
- P: Principal loan amount borrowed.
- r: Periodic monthly interest rate (Annual APR divided by 12).
- n: Total number of scheduled monthly payments.
In the early months of an installment loan, a larger share of each monthly payment covers accrued interest charges. As you consistently make on-time payments, the outstanding balance decreases, allowing a larger portion of each future installment to pay down the principal balance.
