Program Overview
The Interest Analyzer
The Interest Analyzer is a financial software program designed

variety of financial tools for calculating Annuities (Savings,
Interest Accumulation), Amortization (Loans, Mortgages),
Depreciation, Immediate Annuities and Calculators for solving for
missing values. Each financial tool contains a variety of options
to allow maximum flexibility.
The Interest (Savings) tool allows variable deposit modes,
deposits, withdrawals and interest rates. Professional reports
can be created with varying detail. Special options are available
to illustrate the time value of compounding and the impact of
taxes on savings.
The Amortization (Loan) tool allows variable payments, interest
rates and compounding methods. Professional schedules can be
generated with varying detail. Special options are available to
illustrate the savings incurred with an early payoff of a loan
and to show tax savings with mortgages.

methods to be illustrated using different time conventions.
The Immediate Annuity tool allows variable payout modes and
compounding methods. Professional schedules are produced.
The Interest Analyzer produces illustrations and schedules for
each of the financial tools. These can be viewed on the screen or

input to allow the user to easily navigate and understand the
