  1. Rate per period

    i = annual rate ÷ 100 ÷ 12

    5 ÷ 100 ÷ 12 = 0.004166666667

  2. Number of payouts

    n = years × 12

    20 × 12 = 240

  3. Payout per period

    PMT = P × i ÷ (1 − (1 + i) to the power of −n)

    500,000.00 × 0.004166666667 ÷ (1 − (1 + 0.004166666667) to the power of −240) = 3,299.78

How it works

Payout = B × i ÷ (1 − (1 + i)^−n) with i = annual rate ÷ payments per year and n = years × payments per year (÷ (1 + i) for payouts at the start of each period)
