You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L = 10,000 = loan amount
i = interest rate per month = 0.021/12 = 0.00175
n = number of months = 12*4 = 48
P = monthly payment
P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )
P = (10,000*0.00175)/( 1-(1+0.00175)^(-48) )
P = 217.387950449613
P = 217.39
m = number of months left = 12
B = remaining balance with m months left
B = P*(1-(1+i)^(-m))/i
B = 217.387950449613*(1-(1+0.00175)^(-12))/(0.00175)
B = 2579.22270192667
B = 2579.22
The monthly payment and remaining balance can be confirmed when using a calculator such as this one
