This is a mortgage calculator I made. I took the user’s mortgage cost, time, rate, and interest to determine the rate (monthly or yearly) payment. It also prints the final info nicely including duration, total payment, total interest, total principal, and rate payment. It asks the user if they want an Amortization Table and prints one if they do. If the user pays monthly, it will total everything after each year and print it each time. It will also let the user specify what month they start, and include each month in your time period so they know what month they are in. I have already written posts about the project if you want to read about my project, the technical information, and the program being run.
Here is a file containing the source code and how to use it.

Get input from the user on loan cost, loan duration, interest, and rate(yearly or monthly). The user won’t be able to input negative numbers or zero. The user must choose one of the options for duration and rate. Thhe program will ask if they would like to see the table. If so, it will print the table. If not, it will end and then ask if they want to go through the program again. The program will output their principal, total loan cost (principal + interest), and each time period’s cost based on the rate.

This is the introduction to my program. It outlines the extra features I added. It provides an intro paragraph detailing what the program is about. It imports all the things needed for one to use the program. This shows my main, which shows everything I wrote in the program. Each procedure will go more in depth later. Finally, it shows the first part of my program. This prints instructions for the user so they know how to use my program when they run it.

This part of my source code gets inputs from the user and calculates the basic data. It contains procedures that get inputs, such as duration, amount, rate, and interest. Once it gets this information, it uses it to calculate data. The first thing it calculates is the monthly or yearly payment, which is by itself a procedure. The other thing. it calculates its period interest, which is just the starting amount of the payment that goes to interest.

The final part of my source code is the table. First, it asks if the user wants a table. If not, it’ll just print the basic information for the user. If so, it will print the table. I have two different tables for if it is yearly or monthly payments. If it is yearly, it is a more basic procedure that will just print the interest, principal, yearly payment, and remaining balance for the whole duration. If monthly, there’s another procedure. It asks and figures out what month you start the mortgage. This is so the user can see during what month they pay what. The other thing monthly does is show totals. After every year of payments, it will total everything and show you how much you paid total, and how much went to principal and interest. Finally, at the end, it prints the basic information again for you at the end, and shows how much money you paid total. Then it asks if you want to do it again. There’s another procedure at the end called “money”. This procedure just converts numbers to money with a dollar sign, so that it looks nicer.
