How Does the Balloon Loan Calculator Work?

Monthly = balance × r | Balloon = remaining principal at term

A balloon loan charges interest-only (or lightly amortizing) payments with the principal due as one lump sum at maturity. The calculator sizes both the easy payments and the hard ending. Mathematically, the engine applies Monthly = balance × r | Balloon = remaining principal at term. On 200,000 at 7% over 5 years, monthly interest runs 200,000 × 0.005833 = 1,166.67; at month 60 the full 200,000 balloon falls due — refinancing risk concentrated in a single date.
