- LOAN AMORTIZATION by ANTELOPE SYSTEMS
-
- Thank you for trying our Loan Amortization product.
-
- If you are a professional, this product will give you professional looking
- amortization schedules with the speed and accuracy you require.
-
- If you are acquiring this product for personal use, you will find it useful
- many times, such as when you are looking at new cars. What will the payments
- be? Can I afford it? Or that dream house. How much can I afford to spend?
- Or perhaps you need to set up a payment schedule for a personal loan, or you
- are selling property on a contract and you need to provide the buyer with a
- payment schedule. Or you may wish to know how long it will take to pay off
- your credit cards, if you pay a certain amount each month. The Antelope
- Systems Loan Amortization product can provide you with solutions for each of
- these.
-
- The Amortization Program is designed to be easy to use, and yet provide
- professional quality reports, with speed and accuracy. The program will solve
- for the unknown from amoung payment amount, interest rate, number of payments,
- or original principal amount, when any three of the four are known. Use for
- comparisons, "what if" scenarios, etc.
-
- We have designed this product to be competitive with some of the more expensive
- commercial packages. We have extensively tested our product for accuracy,
- supporting up to 13 digits for principal and amount fields. Also we have
- designed our program to run fast. Just compare its performance to some of the
- other products available.
-
- HOW IS THIS PRODUCT BETTER THAN MANY OF ITS COMPETITORS?
-
- 1. Faster. Internal equations have been algebraically simplified, iterations
- minimized, paths shortened.
- 2. More Accurate. Calculations are done to double precision accuracy, then
- rounded to the nearest cent.
- 3. Higher Maximum Amount. Loans of up to $99,999,999,999.99 can be computed.
- 4. Greater Interest Range and Precision. Interest rates with up to 5 digits to
- the right of the decimal place can be specified. The range is
- from 0% up to 999.99999%.
- 5. Color. Both color and monochrome input modes.
- 6. Online Help. Full context sensitive help system.
