Formula used

The base periodic payment for a level-payment amortizing loan is:

Payment = P * r / (1 - (1 + r)-n)
where:
P = principal (loan amount)
r = periodic rate (see rate model below)
n = number of amortizing payments

Nominal compounding: r = (1 + APR/c)^({c/ppy}) - 1
Simple model:        r = APR / ppy

With a balloon B after m payments:
Payment = ((P*(1+r)^m - B) * r) / ((1+r)^m - 1)

If r = 0: evenly allocate principal (or principal minus balloon) across payments.

Interest-only periods pay interest first; scheduled amortizing payments start afterward. Extras always reduce principal directly and can shorten the schedule.

FAQs

APR is annual; the periodic rate depends on payments per year and (optionally) the compounding frequency you choose.

During interest-only months you pay interest (plus escrow/extras). Principal amortization begins afterward.

It’s a lump sum due at the end. We show it separately and compute amortizing payments to reach that remaining balance.

The bars show principal and interest. The summary chips include taxes/insurance in the “due per period” value.

We split principal evenly (or to the balloon) across amortizing periods. Interest-only periods then charge zero interest.

If you set an annual increase, the recurring extra grows once per year using compound growth.

Yes. Choose “Nominal with compounding” and set compounds per year to match your lender’s terms.
