In
this example:
An amortization schedule is
calculated that shows that the
borrower must pay $118.70 each
month for 120 months in order
to meet the interest obligation
and to pay down the borrowed
amount to $0 over 10 years.
The interest charges for the
first month is calculated as
such:
$10,000 X 7.50% (divided by)
12 months = $62.50
In the first payment, the
borrower pays the lender $62.50
in interest. The remaining amount
of $56.20 will repay the loan
and reduce the borrowed amount
to $9,943.80.
The interest charges for the
second month is calculated as
such:
$9,943.80 X 7.50% (divided
by) 12 months = $62.15
In the second payment, the
borrower pays the lender $62.15
in interest. The remaining amount
of $56.55 will repay the loan
balance and reduce the borrowed
amount to $9,830.34.
This will continue all the way
through the 120th payment, where the borrower
pays the lender $0.74 in interest.
The remaining amount of $117.96
will repay the loan balance
and reduce the borrowed amount
to $0. The loan obligation has
been paid off. |
