1. What is the CIBC Home Equity Loan Calculator?

The CIBC Home Equity Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for a home equity loan from CIBC. It uses the standard loan payment formula to calculate your payment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount
\( P \) — Principal loan amount
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
\( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in months)

Explanation: This formula accounts for both principal and interest payments over the life of the loan.
