Formula

The formula for calculating the monthly home loan repayment is as follows: $M = P \times (( 1 + r ) ^{n} - 1 r ( 1 + r ) ^{n})$

Where:

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

Example

Let’s consider a home loan of $200,000 with an annual interest rate of 4.5% and a loan term of 30 years. $r = 12 0.045$ $n = 30 \times 12$ $M = 200, 000 \times (( 1 + 0.00375 ) ^{360} - 1 0.00375 ( 1 + 0.00375 ) ^{360})$ After solving, the monthly repayment ( $M$ ) will be calculated.
