You sir, are awesome! This is the BEST explanation I have come across! I don't know if its because loan sellers don't want to be super clear or if they just lack the math background, but I hadn't found any of their explanations to make sense. This made it crystal clear, and I feel so much safer knowing what I'm getting myself into!

Thank you very much. Was looking for how the loan was calculated and only getting the formula everywhere. But your explanation clears it out. Thank you!

What a wonderful and thoughtful explanation. You not only gave the superficial meaning but the contextual meaning by doing the heavy lifting of proving the geometry series. Super thankful.

I cannot give the amount of likes that I want. This video made my night after a whole day looking for explanations on how to calculate this and also how to make the table for each month. Awesome video and keep up the good work, thank you!

I've been looking for how this formula is determined all over the internet, and finally here it is!! Thanks for the amazing explanation.

Thank you. Very clear and useful! I wish more tutorials on the Internet were like this one!

I’m determined to understand this fully - it’s going to take more than one watch 😅 Thank you for your work

Love your videos! Just FYI, the dollar sign goes in front of a dollar amount e.g., $100.45 or $1M for one million dollars. The lesser used cent sign “¢” would go after the number and would be omitted in the presence of a dollar sign e.g., 99¢. Thanks for all you do!

Very nice -- a couple of nuances. The compounding period can vary. In your example interest is compounded monthly. In Canada mortgagee rates are compounded semi annually so the monthly interest rate is (1+r/2)^(2/12). Often banks actually calculate a daily interest rate. For semi annual compounding the daily rate for non leap years is (1+r/2)^(2/365) and for leap years (1+r/2)^(2/366). This allows for calculating weekly and biweekly repayments. For monthly payments the amount of interest that is applied to the principle will vary depending on the length of the month. Lastly the financial literacy of sales people and loan managers is abysmal -- just ask any of them to explain how the loan is amortized or challenge them to produce a spreadsheet that provides an amortization schedule. Come on this is high school math -- no calculus involved.

Sir, you are a treasure for our society!

This makes so much sense. Excellent for us Mathematically oriented people.

Great video. Clear explanation and Python demonstration on this prolonged question I have in mind. Thanks for that!

just one line for the video: AMAZING EXPLANATION!

thank you so much. it was really clear and useful.

awesome job

Isn't dividing the annual interest rate by 12 to get the monthly rate an approximation? Going up 12% a year is not the same as going up 1% a month. Anyone can easily see this by just inputting it into a calculator if they don't believe me. (1+.12)^1 = 1.12 =/= (1+.01)^12 = 1.1268... I know this is how most calculators work still but I wonder why this approximation is always used?

Wow! wonderfully explained. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the python code, for python3, print() is a function so you'll have to wrap the strings in parens. Great video, thank you!

great video, thank you

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining this so well!

Thank you for exploring your curioisty and your due dilligence! This was inisghtful :))

wonderful explanation. Thank you

I've actually been looking for a derivation of present value given future value, but I think I can use this as a guide for how to set it up.

Thank You for the same, brilliant explanation.

Excellent derivation!

Thanks. I was like how the heck did my back come up with the money payment?

Very nice work! Thanks!

Taking python class, already built a calculator for amortization total interest paid, but no wanted to bulid one that took into account extra principal payments and I was looking for that formula.

Thanks for the derivation. But...... And this may sound like something a flat earther would ask, but it seems like interest gets figured in twice. To get the Current Payment, you take the Prevous Balance, subtract the previous payment, and add the interest paid on the previous balance. But the interest was already figured in the monthly payment. I'm just a little confused.

Awesome brother

Awesome Thanks for sharing, may i ask why simplify geometry part (2) - (1)?

Thanks man, great explanation :)

Thank you... Very much appreciate. If my lecturer teach this formula, i think my financial management will get A.

Great video

짱입니당

THANK YOU FINALLY

You got rid of the porsche? I thought you were planning on getting an R8 next?!

Bro can you explain why p1 = p0 -M +p0*r ?

16:21 But why did you multiply X by (1+r)

18:26 how does (1+r)X-X=rX ?

Well i can explain this a little more simply. Just explain what annuities are and how it's formula is derived. Done!

Is this for USA or Canada?

Thank you very much. Was looking for how the loan was calculated and only getting the formula everywhere. But your explanation clears it out. Thank you!
