HP Prime: Constant Payment Applied to Principal
Constant Amount Applied to Principal
In most loans and mortgages, the amount of payment applying to interest and principal depends on the running balance.
This program assumes the customer wants an equal portion to apply to principal each payment. As a result, the payment itself, principal and interest, will vary. The simple algorithm to amortize this loan is this:
For K=1 to N:
Int = Bal * I%÷100
Tpmt = Int + CPMT
Bal_k = Bal_(k-1) - CMPT
where:
Bal = balance of a loan
PV = loan amount
CPMT = amount to be applied to principal each payment
I% = interest rate
Int = interest calculated for payment K
Tpmt = total payment for payment K
HP Prime Program CPYMT
The result of CPYMT is a four column matrix with rows: k, interest in payment k, total payment k, resulting balance. Keep in mind that program asks for periodic interest rate.

Example
Five year loan of $10,000 where the customer requests an equal amount of principal to be applied each annual payment ($2,000 a year). The loan rate is 6.99%.
Inputs:
N = 5
I% = 6.99
PMT = 2,000.00
LOAN = 10,000.00
Result:
Year 1: Interest: $699.00; Total Payment: $2,699.00; Balance: $8,000.00
Year 2: Interest: $599.20; Total Payment: $2,559.20; Balance: $6,000.00
Year 3: Interest: $419.40; Total Payment: $2,419.40; Balance: $4,000.00
Year 4: Interest: $279.60; Total Payment: $2,279.60; Balance: $2,000.00
Year 5: Interest: $139.80; Total Payment: $2,139.80; Balance: $0.00
