519.0. "Loan Calculation utility" by ERLANG::MILLEVILLE () Fri Apr 03 1992 16:50

Totally different subject.

For those who are applying for a loan and have:

1) The principle,
2) The annual interest rate and
3) The number of months to pay back the loan,

I have created a program to extrapolate the monthly payment and, if you so
desire, produce an output file showing a breakdown first of a weekly payback
cycle and monthly payback.  It shows the week/month number, starting balance,
interest payment for that week/month and ending balance.  At the end of the
week or month printout, it shows the total in interest payments.

I have already used it to calculate my 20 year mortgage payment (over $600) and
it was off by one penny.  So it should NOT be used as a hard-and-fast 'law' as
to what your payment WILL be, but it is accurate enough to give you a fairly
accurate gauge of what to expect.

Let me know if you have any problems or questions.

519.1How to use this utilityERLANG::MILLEVILLEFri Apr 10 1992 09:4622
Forgot to mention how to use the program and what to provide and expect.  Once
you copy the file to your area, type:

	$ RUN LOAN-CALC

It will then issue the three prompts where you provide the stated information.
The example shows a $2,000 loan, 9.5% annual interest, 24 months payback:

	Input loan amount? 2000
	Input annual percent? 9.5
	Input payback time in months? 24

	Monthly payment will be about $91.8

	Weekly payment will be about $21.18

	Input weekly/monthly payback history output filename if any? <CR>
	$

NOTE: The weekly payment is NOT equal to one-fourth of the monthly payment.
It IS equal to 12 times the monthly payment divided by 52 weeks.  If this is
a problem, let me know - a secondary version can very easily be created.

    I have a nice utility written by somebody else that tracks your
    mortgage month by month. You need FMS to run it.
    
    I try and pay extra each month, and this motivates me to! Each month
    you enter the ACTUAL amount paid, and the program re-calculates the
    term remaining and redoes the interest and capital calculation to term.
    
    Send me mail if you'd like a copy. No support offered!

    	I copied the utility in .0 and it works great for me and takes a
    lot less space than the program I had, 12 blocks now over 100 before.

    Thanks Joe
