Formula
Payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n).
P is the amount financed, which is the loan amount minus any down payment. r is the monthly rate. n is the number of months. The schedule applies that payment until the balance is gone. At a zero rate the payment is principal divided by months.

Example
A $50,000 loan amount, 8% APR, 60 months, no down payment.
Those are the fields filled in. The payment above is the fixed monthly amount, and the schedule under it splits every month into payment, principal, interest, and the remaining balance. Change the rate to see the interest total move. The 8% figure is an assumption for the example.
03
Tips
Read the interest column, not only the payment.
Early months are mostly interest when the balance is high. Extra principal, which this schedule does not model, would shorten that. Fees, insurance, and a balloon are not in the table. The equipment loan calculator on the financing tools page is the same math aimed at a machine purchase.

Equipment
Bring the amount into an equipment application.
If this loan amount is business equipment between $15,000 and $2 million, the button opens Dengaro's application with the amount filled in. Dengaro is a brand of Funding Routes LLC and is not the lender. The schedule is an illustration.
