How to calculate the cost per renovation loan?

The cost per renovation loan can be calculated using the following formula for the monthly payment:

Monthly Payment (M) is calculated as:

§§ M = \frac{P \times r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}} §§

where:

  • § M § — monthly payment
  • § P § — principal amount (loan amount - down payment + additional costs)
  • § r § — monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12)
  • § n § — total number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula allows you to determine how much you will need to pay each month for the duration of the loan.

Example:

  • Loan Amount (§ P §): $10,000
  • Interest Rate: 5% (0.05)
  • Loan Term: 15 years

  1. Calculate the principal:

    • Down Payment: $2,000
    • Additional Costs: $1,500
    • Principal (§ P §) = $10,000 - $2,000 + $1,500 = $9,500

  2. Calculate the monthly interest rate:

    • Monthly Interest Rate (§ r §) = 0.05 / 12 = 0.004167

  3. Calculate the total number of payments:

    • Total Payments (§ n §) = 15 * 12 = 180

  4. Calculate the monthly payment:

    • §§ M = \frac{9500 \times 0.004167}{1 - (1 + 0.004167)^{-180}} \approx 75.00 §$
