The calculator uses the future value formula for an annuity: FV = PMT * (((1 + r)^n) – 1) / r + P * (1 + r)^n, where:
- FV is the future value of the investment/loan, including interest.
- PMT is the payment made on the loan, which is constant.
- r is the annual interest rate (decimal).
- n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
- P is the principal loan amount (the initial deposit or loan amount).
