Monthly loan payment on a $25,300 loan for 3 years with a 7.44% interest rate

Given:
Loan Amount: $25,300
Loan Terms: 3 years = 36 months = n  (convert years to months)
Interest Rate: 7.44% =
7.44/100
= 0.0744 = 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 =  
25,300  * 
0.0744 / 12
/ 1 – ( 1+
0.0744/12
 ) -36

Monthly Loan Payment =  $786.29  ( rounded to two decimal places)
Notes:
Total Cost =  Monthly Loan Payment * Number of Payments
Total Cost =  $786.29 * 36 =  $28,306.44
Interest Cost =  Total Cost – Loan Amount
Interest Cost =  $28,306.44 – $25,300 =  $3,006.44
