How Much Will A 5000 Loan Cost Each Month

If you want to know how much a 5000 loan will cost in monthly repayments then you need to know a couple of pieces of information about the loan in order to make the calculation. Both bits of information are required and although you may think that the interest rate is the most important, actually it is the interest rate and the term of the loan and their interaction that is important for the purposes of your calculation.  

Having stated that, rather than providing you with complex loan and interest calculations it would probably be better to simply provide information for common periods and a common interest rate.  For instance, if you were to take out a 5 year loan with an interest rate of 8% then the monthly loan repayment would be approximately $100.  If you were to reduce the period down from 5 years to 2 years then the amount you would pay each month would rise to just over $225.

Perhaps surprisingly if you increase the interest rate to 10% the amounts quoted above change by only a relatively small amount, about $5 more in each case.  Nevertheless you can get a real sense from these figures of the amount you will need to pay and hopefully this will aid you in your decision making.
