Explanation / Answer

For 5%, you have to refer to the table prior to this page. This table starts with 5.50%.

What is loan amortization? ............ this is very simple, monthly payment that we have to make for a period of 360 months ( 30 years * 12 months ) in order to payback the loan amount to lender including the interest.

You can use this following simple formula to compute such loan amortization amount for a loan of $ 1000.

PVIFA = Present value of Interest factor annuity = [ 1 - ( 1 +r)-n ] / r

Here r = 0.05 / 12 ........... i.e 5% annual and converted to monthly

n = 360

= [ 1 - ( 1.00416667) -360 ] / 0.00416667 = 186.281617

So loan amortization amount = Principle / PVIFA

= 1000 / 186.281617

= $ 5.37 for each month for 360 months to payback your loan of 1000
