CALC 1 Amortization Examples using the TVM Calculator.

These are examples for calculating interest, principle and balance for any two periods using the Time Value of Money Calculator.

Calculate the interest, principal and balance for a 120,000 loan for 30 years at 6.125% per year with 12 payments per year of $-729.13 for the first 9 periods.

If you have just used the TVM calculator to calculate the payment amount for the loan, the N, I/YR, PV, PMT and P/YR values have been retained and do not need to be entered.

  shift, C TVM   Clears the financial variables.
  shift, B/E   To toggle the BEG / END mode so the BEG indicator is not displayed.
12 STO, P/YR 12.00 Sets the payments per year. This also sets the compounding periods to the same value if using the Focused Calculator.
30 shift, xP/YR 360.00 Sets the total number of payments to the value in x (30) times the payments per year.
6.125 I/YR 6.125 Stores the annual interest rate.
120000 PV 120,000.00 Stores the loan amount, PV.
  PMT -729.13 Calculate the monthly payment.
