How RV Loan Calculator Works:

Formula:

The formula for calculating the monthly payment is derived from the standard amortization formula:M=P⋅r1−(1+r)−nM = \frac{P \cdot r}{1 – (1 + r)^{-n}}M=1−(1+r)−nP⋅r​

Where:

• MMM: Monthly payment
• PPP: Loan amount (Price – Down Payment – Trade-in Value + Sales Tax)
• rrr: Monthly interest rate (Annual Interest Rate12×100\frac{\text{Annual Interest Rate}}{12 \times 100}12×100Annual Interest Rate​)
• nnn: Loan term (in months)

If the interest rate is 0%, the formula simplifies to:M=PnM = \frac{P}{n}M=nP​

Steps:

1. Taxable Amount:Taxable Amount=Price−Down Payment−Trade-in Allowance\text{Taxable Amount} = \text{Price} – \text{Down Payment} – \text{Trade-in Allowance}Taxable Amount=Price−Down Payment−Trade-in Allowance
2. Total Amount with Tax:Total Amount=Taxable Amount+(Taxable Amount×Sales Tax100)\text{Total Amount} = \text{Taxable Amount} + (\text{Taxable Amount} \times \frac{\text{Sales Tax}}{100})Total Amount=Taxable Amount+(Taxable Amount×100Sales Tax​)
3. Monthly Payment: Calculate the monthly payment using the loan amount (Total Amount\text{Total Amount}Total Amount), interest rate, and loan term.
