How the payment is worked out
The standard loan formula has three inputs: the amount of $2,000, the monthly rate of 0.8333 percent and 24 payments. Multiply the amount by the rate. Then divide the result by one minus one over the growth factor, which is one plus the monthly rate raised to the power of 24.
Worked example

Over the whole loan you pay $2,215. About 11 cents of each borrowed dollar goes to interest.
