Formula used

First, the financed principal is computed as: P = (Program + Materials + Exam − Discount) + Admin − Upfront.

If the periodic interest rate is r and there are n installments, the base installment payment is: Payment = P × r / (1 − (1 + r)⁻ⁿ).

If r = 0, then Payment = P / n. Per-installment fees are added after the payment is calculated.

FAQs

1) What does the financed principal include?

It includes tuition and selected fees, minus discount and upfront payment, plus any one-time admin fee. It is the balance split across installments.

2) Can I use this for interest-free payment plans?

Yes. Set the annual interest rate to 0. The calculator will divide the financed amount evenly and still apply any per-installment fee you enter.

3) Why is the final installment sometimes different?

Rounding and interest can leave a small remaining balance. The last payment is adjusted so the ending balance becomes zero.

4) What is the difference between “Payment” and “Installment total”?

“Payment” covers principal plus interest. “Installment total” adds the per-installment fee to the payment amount.

5) How are due dates calculated?

The calculator adds the chosen frequency to the first due date for each installment. If you set a fixed payment day, it snaps dates to that day-of-month.

6) How do discounts work?

Choose percent to apply a rate to tuition plus selected fees. Choose amount to subtract a fixed value, capped so it never exceeds the base total.

7) Does the upfront payment count in the grand total?

If “Count upfront in grand total” is set to yes, the upfront payment is added to the total paid. Turn it off when you want totals for installments only.

8) Is this schedule an official billing statement?

No. It is a planning tool. Always confirm dates, fees, and policies with your institution’s finance office before issuing invoices or agreements.
