How we worked it out
Updated as you change the numbers.
Payment = loan × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n), with r = 0.5417% a month and n = 360 = $1,580.17.
Each month, interest = balance × r, and the rest of the payment reduces the balance.
Method and assumptions
The standard fixed-rate formula, with interest worked out monthly on the remaining balance. Extra payments go straight to principal.
