📐 How boat loans are calculated

Boat loans use the standard amortization formula to calculate fixed monthly payments. Here's how it works:

The formula:

M = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ ((1 + r)n - 1)
  • M = Monthly payment
  • P = Loan amount (after down payment)
  • r = Monthly interest rate
  • n = Total number of payments
Example: $50,000 boat with 20% down ($10,000) = $40,000 loan at 7% APR for 10 years
Monthly payment = $464.48
Total interest = $15,737.60
Total cost = $65,737.60

Formula Used

Monthly payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1]
P = principal, r = periodic interest rate, n = number of payments.

How the formula is applied

The calculator applies the entered principal or balance, periodic interest rate, repayment term and any supported fees or extra payments. Payment and interest figures depend on compounding frequency, payment timing and which taxes, insurance or charges are included.
