Monthly loan payment on a $11,500 loan for 36 months with a 7% interest rate

Given:
Loan Amount: $11,500
Loan Terms: 36 months = n
Interest Rate: 7% =
7/100
= 0.07 = r  (convert percent to a decimal)
Monthly Loan Payment Formula:
Monthly Loan Payment =  
Loan Amount  * 
r / 12
/ 1 – ( 1+
r/12
 ) -n

Substitute given values into Monthly Payment Formula:
Monthly Loan Payment =  
11,500  * 
0.07 / 12
/ 1 – ( 1+
0.07/12
 ) -36

Monthly Loan Payment =  $355.09  ( rounded to two decimal places)
Notes:
Total Cost =  Monthly Loan Payment * Number of Payments
Total Cost =  $355.09 * 36 =  $12,783.24
Interest Cost =  Total Cost – Loan Amount
Interest Cost =  $12,783.24 – $11,500 =  $1,283.24
