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.
7. Dependable. Extensively Tested and Debugged.
