Before committing to a loan, you’ll need a clear understanding of your monthly repayments. This is where a loan calculator or a manual computation can help. Knowing how much you’ll need to set aside each month helps you make informed decisions and ensures you can comfortably pay back the loan. To find out how much you’ll have to pay monthly, you have to identify the following:
- Loan Amount – How much do you plan to loan?
- Payment Term – How many months do you need to pay back the loan?
- Interest Rate – How much is the loan worth?
How to Calculate without a Loan Calculator
To give you a better idea, you can calculate the monthly payment through a loan calculator or by using the add-on interest method below.
Step 1: Calculate Total Interest
(Loan amount) x (Interest Rate in decimals) x (Months) = (Total Interest)
Step 2: Determine Total Amount to Repay
(Loan Amount) + (Total Interest) = (Total Amount to Repay)
Step 3: Calculate Monthly Payment
(Total Amount to Repay) / (Payment Term) = (Monthly Payment)
Sample Loan Details:
| Loan Amount | PHP 100,000.00 |
| Payment Term | 18 months |
| Monthly Add-On Interest Rate | 2% |
| Monthly Payment | PHP 7,555.56 (Rounded off) |
With the sample loan details provided, the estimated monthly payment would be PHP 7,555.56. This calculation assumes a fixed monthly add-on interest rate throughout the repayment period.
Keep in mind that the actual computation may vary slightly due to rounding and other factors. While computing or using a loan calculator will help give you an idea of how much you’ll need to pay, it’s best to inquire with your lender for your final monthly payments.
Making Informed Decisions
By calculating the monthly payments of the loan amount you plan to borrow, you’ll be able to assess your monthly repayment obligations and determine if they fit comfortably within your budget. This empowers you to make informed decisions before borrowing money and meet your financial obligations responsibly.
