Hi Evelyn,
I've used the mortgage calculator that Niicss have suggested. It really helped me to find the accurate result. So you too can try it. |

Use caution with the site suggested. The "Get FRM Amortization Schedule" produces strange results. A good test is a 7.00% rate for obvious reasons. The "calculator" falls apart on an $100,000 loan amount even as early as payment #2 and then again in #8 – total of monthly principal and monthly interest amounts is more than P&I. Go figure.
Even with 6.00%, a number which divides without going to infinite repetitions, the "calculator" falls apart in payment #33 with a curious rounding of the interest calculation.
Does meet the "well it's pretty close" standard but for a mortgage site, I'm surprised it wasn't more accurate. |

Welcome Guest.
I'm not sure how you didn't get the right figures. I calculated the mortgage payments with the FRM amortization calculator using the figures you've given. The monthly payment came out to be $1161.08 and that's equal to the sum of P and I. Even the payment no. 2 and 8 seem to be ok. Here's what I got:
 
Thanks. |

Even on the 10-year, look at the sum of monthly principal and interest payments for payments 15, 17, 23, 26, 29 .....
Very wierd calculator. Hard to simulate whatever is being done. |

Hi Guest,
Thanks for pointing out the bug in the calculator. A difference in .01 or the like is common in mathematical calculations. But yes, if it's the mortgage industry where people are concerned over payments and the lenders have to get back their monthly installments, it definitely matters. So, I am informing our Technical team about this bug and they shall look into the matter.
Thanks,
Brian dela Cruz
