What Loan Amortization Table Generator does, with a checked example
Turn a loan amount, interest rate, term, and payment frequency into a row-by-row schedule showing payments, interest, principal reduction, and remaining balance. The generator can also model extra payments, biweekly payments, and a balloon amount, then produce a printable table. A common mistake is treating biweekly as twice monthly: biweekly payments occur every two weeks, while twice-monthly payments occur only 24 times per year.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Loan amount: $1,200
Annual interest rate: 0%
Term: 1 year
Payment frequency: monthly
Extra payment: $0
Balloon payment: $0
->
Expected output
Monthly payment: $100.00
Number of payments: 12
Total principal: $1,200.00
Total interest: $0.00
Total paid: $1,200.00
Payment 1: $100.00 principal, $0.00 interest, $1,100.00 balance
Payment 2: $100.00 principal, $0.00 interest, $1,000.00 balance
Payments 3 through 11 reduce the balance by $100.00 each
Payment 12: $100.00 principal, $0.00 interest, $0.00 balance
With a zero interest rate, every dollar of each payment reduces principal. Dividing $1,200 by 12 monthly payments gives $100 per payment, and 12 times $100 reconciles exactly to the original balance.
