Introduction

Welcome to the 6-Year Loan Calculator – a powerful tool designed to assist you in estimating your loan payments over a 6-year period. Whether you’re planning a major purchase or looking to manage your existing debts, this calculator can provide valuable insights into your financial commitments.

How to Use

Input the loan amount in the designated field.

Click the “Calculate” button to obtain your monthly payment.

Formula

The formula used for calculating the monthly payment (PMT) on a fixed-rate loan is:

$PMT = ( 1 + r ) ^{n} - 1 P \times r \times ( 1 + r ) ^{n}$

Where:

$P$ is the loan amount.
$r$ is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and converted to a decimal).
$n$ is the total number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12).

Example

Suppose you are taking a loan of $50,000 with an annual interest rate of 5%. Using the calculator for a 6-year term, your monthly payment would be calculated as follows:

$PMT = ( 1 + 0.004167 ) ^{72} - 1 50000 \times 0.004167 \times ( 1 + 0.004167 ) ^{72}$

After performing the calculation, the monthly payment would be displayed as the result.
