#*n: ''Number of Payments''.  This is the total number of payments made over the life of the loan.  For example, in a three year loan paid monthly n = 3 x 12 = 36.

#Plug your information into the equation. In the above example n = 36, we will use 0.0067% for the monthly interest rate (from an annual 8%), and $3,500 for the principal. So filling this out, Monthly Payment = $3,500*(0.0067(1+0.0067)^36)/((1+0.0067)^36-1). Write out the formula with your numbers even if you feel comfortable working with it.  It can eliminate simple math errors.[[Image:Calculate an Installment Loan Payment Step 3 Version 2.jpg|center]]

So filling this out, Monthly Payment = $3,500*(0.08(1+0.0067)^36)/((1+0.0067)^36-1).

#*Solve the parentheses first.  Simplify the first part of the equation to $3,500*(0.0067(1.0067)^36)/((1.0067)^36-1).
