SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on generating a complex loan amortization schedule for a $390,000 loan with three annual payments of $10,000 each, starting on July 5, 2015, and amortized over 30 years. A critical point raised is the necessity of specifying an interest rate, with a suggested rate of approximately 6.5% for an annual payment of $30,000. The conversation emphasizes that traditional formulas may not suffice due to the irregular payment dates, indicating the need for specialized software to perform the calculations and generate the schedule.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of loan amortization concepts
  • Familiarity with spreadsheet software (e.g., Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets)
  • Basic knowledge of interest rates and their impact on loan payments
  • Experience with financial modeling or programming for complex calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create amortization schedules in Microsoft Excel
  • Learn about financial functions in Google Sheets for loan calculations
  • Explore software options for generating amortization schedules, such as Amortization Schedule Calculator
  • Study the impact of varying interest rates on loan amortization
USEFUL FOR

Individuals involved in financial planning, loan officers, spreadsheet users, and anyone needing to create or analyze complex loan amortization schedules.

Hi dzweber! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?
 
Not even sure where to start with a formula. Hoping for a spreadsheet referal

Problem: you didn't specify an interest rate

Anyway, assuming an annual payment of 30,000,
an annual rate of ~6.5% needs to be the loan's rate.

But regardless of all that, no formula can be used
using those weird payment dates.

If you need an amortization schedule, then you need a
computer program to do the calculations and appropriate
schedule printing.

I'll gladly help...once you supply a rate!
