Designed to be useful and understandable to everyone. Will calculate any of the loan variables (ie. principal, interest rate, payment amount or number of payments) as well as generate a "payback schedule". Useful in "What If" calculations to see how minor adjustments in interest or payment can greatly affect interest paid. [ASP] Long Description: ----------------- AMORTZ is an extremely easy and fast tool used to calculate loan payment amounts, interest rates, number of payments or current principal amounts. Amortization schedules (sometimes called principal & interest or loan payback schedules) can be printed, or displayed on monitor, by year. Loan totals (principal & interest) are also just a keystroke away. For business users, principal and interest are summarized by fiscal year (defined by the user). AMORTZ was designed to be useful and understandable, regardless of the level of financial sophistication - from CPA's calculating a million dollar deal to a teenagers determining monthly payments for that first car. The entire process is menu driven with extensive error checking, making the program very "user friendly". AMORTZ - Vendor/Distributor Information Page 3 of 8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMORTZ can easily be used to test various assumptions (usually called "What If" calculations). Just change the payment amount and see how much total interest is saved, or see how much more you can spend for that new house if the interest rates drop a bit. Add $50.00 to your current mortgage payment and see how you can dramatically save interest and build equity much faster. Registration Information: ------------------------- AMORTZ registration is $10.00, including the most recent version on disk, with free upgrades for a minimum of twelve months.
