LOAN ANALYSIS 2.7 requires an I.B.M. PC, XT, AT or compatible and a
printer for a hard copy is optional.
If your planning to purchase a home or refinance the one you have,
you need all the information that you can get to make sound financial
decisions. Such information can also be helpful when analizing your
current mortgage, by revealing how much the loan is really costing you
and how you might be able to save on it.
LOAN ANALYSIS 2.7 will tell you everything you need to know concerning the
payments, interest rate and repayment period on a mortgage; or any
fully amortized loan for which interest is calculated on the remaining
balance. This covers just about all loans that are currently offered
by financial institutions.
LOAN ANALYSIS 2.7 will also provide a month-by-month amortization schedule
for the life of the loan; which will include your cumulative interest,
cumulative equity and a breakdown of your monthly payments into
interest and principal portions. At the end of every year, the program
will calculate the amount of interest you paid, which is important for
tax purposes, and the amount of equity you've built up for that year.
LOAN ANALYSIS 2.7 will take into account the month that your first payment
is made, calculate any balloon payment required at the end of the loan
period, and give you the option of having the results sent to your
screen or printer.
HOW TO USE
Let's say that you're considering the purchase of a home for
$100,000 and are considering an interest rate of 10 percent over 30
years. Enter these figures when the program asks for them, being sure
not to include any commas. A display will appear that includes the
loan amount, interest rate, monthly payment and the total cost of the
loan over its life span.
Then the program will ask if you want to see an amortization
table. For our example press 'Y'. You will then be asked for the
number of the month that you will make your first payment. Enter a
number from 1 to 12 to represent from January to December. You are
then asked if you want the results sent to the screen or to your
printer. Enter 'S' or 'P'. If you answer 'P' you will be asked if you
want a continuous listing of all of your payments printed; or if you
want one year at a time printed with a prompt to continue for each
year. Enter 'C' for a continuous listing or 'U' to be prompted to
continue.
The screen will clear and an amortization table for the period
from your first payment month to the end of that year will be
displayed. The sum of the two columns marked INTEREST PAYMENT and
EQUITY PAYMENT equals your monthly payment. Note that for quite a few
years, the interest portion of the payment greatly exceeds the equity
portion. If you are having a continuous listing printed, the program
will continue printing each year's analysis until all of your payments
are listed. If you elected to be prompted for each year's listing,
press RETURN to continue or ESCAPE to exit.
SAVE BIG $$$$$
You might want to use the amortization table to determine how to
repay your loan sooner. You could perhaps save thousands of dollars in
interest, while paying little additional money each month. For
example, say you're about to make payment number 5 on your loan. Make
out a check for that payment as usual, then check the amortization
table to see what the equity portion of payment number 6 is. Make out
a separate check in that amount, and print on the back of the check,
"TO BE USED TOWARDS PRINCIPAL ONLY." Enclose this check with the
regular payment for month 5.
When your ready to make payment number 6, send in the full amount
as usual, plus a separate check for the equity portion of month 7, and
so on, as long as there is any principal balance outstanding. What you
are actually doing is reducing the amount of the principal that the
interest is calculated on, thus reducing the total cost of the loan
and the time it'll take to pay it off.
