How the formula works
Fixed-rate installment loans typically use equal monthly payments that amortize the balance over the term.
Payment size increases with higher principal or APR, and decreases with longer terms (though longer terms often increase total interest).
Illustrative Example
$5,000 at 10% APR for 24 months yields an estimated payment of about $230.72 per month.
