We have a loan amount here of 250 ,000.
00:04
We have a fixed apr, which is our interest rate r equal to 6 % or 0 .06.
00:16
We have a term of 15 years and we want to know the monthly payment.
00:25
Well, the formula for that is equal to the loan amount times r over n divided by 1 minus 1 plus r over n to the negative nt.
00:39
And n is the number of payments you make per year.
00:43
So n is equal to 12 because we're doing it monthly.
00:47
Then our r over n is going to be 0 .06 divided by 12, which is 0 .005.
00:56
N times t is equal to 12 times 15 and it is 180.
01:03
So our payment amount is going to be 250 ,000 times 0 .005 divided by 1 minus 1 .005 to the negative 180.
01:19
And that is equal to, let's see here, $2 ,109 .64.
01:35
And then what is the total amount paid over the term of the loan? well, we make 180 of these payments...
