What is the total amount paid in interest over this first year of the loan?
Suppose you take out a five-year car loan
for $12000, paying an annual interest rate
of 3%. You make monthly payments of $216
for this loan.
mocars
Getting started (month 0): Here is how the process works. When you buy the car, right at month 0, you owe
the full $12000. Applying the 3% interest to this (3% is "3 per $100" or "0.03 per $1"), you would owe
0.03*$12000 = $360 for the year. Since this is a monthly loan, we divide this by 12 to find the interest
payment of $30 for the month. You pay $216 for the month, so $30 of your payment goes toward interest
(and is never seen again...), and (216-30) = $186 pays down your loan.
(Month 1): You just paid down $186 off your loan, so you now owe $11814 for the car. Using a similar
process, you would owe 0.03* $11814 = $354.42 for the year, so (dividing by 12), you owe $29.54 in interest
for the month. This means that of your $216 monthly payment, $29.54 goes toward interest and $186.46
pays down your loan.
The values from above are included…
Suppose you have an investment account that earns an annual 9% interest rate, compounded monthly. It
took $500 to open the account, so your opening balance is $500. You choose to make fixed monthly
payments of $230 to the account each month.
Complete the table below to track your savings growth.
