Annuity of a loan for a given capital, duration and interest rate formula

Description of the Annuity of a loan for a given capital, duration and interest rate formula

This formula permits the calculation of the annuity to pay for the reimbursement of a loan with an amount \( C \), an interest rate \( r \) and a duration of \( N \) periods. It allows us to answer for example the following question: How much does it cost me every month if I want to lend the amount \( C \) at an interest rate \( r \), over a duration of \( N \) months.

Formula

\[ m=\frac{C\cdot\frac{r}{n}}{1-(1+\frac{r}{n})^{-N}} \ \]
