Why is it masculine?

Loyer is masculine. It derives from Old French "loier" (to rent, hire), which comes from Latin "locare" (to place, rent). The noun "loyer" developed from this verb stem. French nouns ending in "-er" derived from Latin verbs typically adopted masculine gender, and "loyer" follows this pattern with the masculine article "le."
