Monthly loan payment on a $25,300 loan for 5 years with a 7.44% interest rate

Given:
Loan Amount: $25,300
Loan Terms: 5 years = 60 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
 ) -60

Monthly Loan Payment =  $506.24  ( rounded to two decimal places)
Notes:
Total Cost =  Monthly Loan Payment * Number of Payments
Total Cost =  $506.24 * 60 =  $30,374.40
Interest Cost =  Total Cost – Loan Amount
Interest Cost =  $30,374.40 – $25,300 =  $5,074.40
