1. What is the TD Bank HELOC PMT Formula?

The PMT formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off a TD Bank Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) over a specified period. It accounts for both principal and interest payments in a standardized amortization schedule.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the PMT formula:

Where:

• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment ($/month)
• \( P \) — Loan principal ($)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12, as decimal)
• \( n \) — Number of months (years × 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment needed to fully amortize the loan over the specified term, accounting for compound interest.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in dollars, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 5.25 for 5.25%), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
