Monthly loan payment on a $15,500 loan for 5 years with a 4.95% interest rate

Given:
Loan Amount: $15,500
Loan Terms: 5 years = 60 months = n  (convert years to months)
Interest Rate: 4.95% =
4.95/100
= 0.0495 = 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 =  
15,500  * 
0.0495 / 12
/ 1 – ( 1+
0.0495/12
 ) -60

Monthly Loan Payment =  $292.15  ( rounded to two decimal places)
Notes:
Total Cost =  Monthly Loan Payment * Number of Payments
Total Cost =  $292.15 * 60 =  $17,529
Interest Cost =  Total Cost – Loan Amount
Interest Cost =  $17,529 – $15,500 =  $2,029
