$${P}=\frac{\mathrm{2500}}{\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{05}}{\mathrm{12}}}\left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{05}}{\mathrm{12}}\right)^{\mathrm{30}×\mathrm{12}} }\right)\approx\mathrm{465700} \\ $$$${the}\:{derivation}\:{of}\:{formula}\:{see}\:{below}. \\ $$

![say the loan you take from the bank is P. the (yearly) interest rate is r. the mouthly payment is M. the mouthly interest rate is i=(r/(12)). at the very beginning: the amount of money you own the bank is P_0 =P. after one month: the amount of money you own the bank is P_1 =P(1+i)−M. after 2 months: the amount of money you own the bank is P_2 =P_1 (1+i)−M =P(1+i)^2 −M(1+i)−M after 3 months: the amount of money you own the bank is P_3 =P_2 (1+i)−M =P(1+i)^3 −M(1+i)^2 −M(1+i)−M ....... after n months: the amount of money you own the bank is P_n =P_(n−1) (1+i)−M =P(1+i)^n −M(1+i)^(n−1) −M(1+i)^(n−2) −...−M(1+i)−M =P(1+i)^n −M[(1+i)^(n−1) +(1+i)^(n−2) +...+(1+i)+1] =P(1+i)^n −M×(((1+i)^n −1)/((1+i)−1)) =(P−(M/i))(1+i)^n +(M/i) if you want to have paid back fully after n months, then P_n =0, i.e. (P−(M/i))(1+i)^n +(M/i)=0 ⇒P=(M/i)[1−(1/((1+i)^n ))] in current example: r=5% ⇒i=(r/(12))=((0.05)/(12)) M=2500 $ n=30×12=360 months P=((2500)/((0.05)/(12)))[1−(1/((1+((0.05)/(12)))^(30×12) ))]=465704 $](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q203227.png)
