How the math works

Lenders use the standard amortization formula: M = P × r × (1 + r)n / ((1 + r)n − 1), where P is the amount borrowed ($ $10,000), r is the monthly rate (APR ÷ 12) and n is the number of payments (36). Early payments go mostly toward interest; the principal share grows over the life of the loan.
