Answer key: Balloon Payment worksheet

  1. 1. Balloon payment due: $250,000.00

    1. Count the regular monthly payments (k) before the balloon: 12 for every year

      k=8×12=96
    2. Each interest-only payment is one month of interest on the full loan, with nothing toward the loan itself

      $250,000.00×0.00566667=$1,416.67
    3. No principal is repaid along the way, so the balloon is the whole loan amount

      balloon=$250,000.00
    4. Add up every regular payment and the balloon, then subtract what you borrowed. What's left is interest

      $1,416.67×96+$250,000.00−$250,000.00=$136,000.00
  2. 2. Balloon payment due: $178,076.68

    1. Count the regular monthly payments (k) before the balloon: 12 for every year

      k=6×12=72
    2. Count the payments (n) in the long schedule the payment is based on: 12 for every year

      n=26×12=312
    3. Find the monthly rate i: the yearly rate as a decimal, divided by 12, because interest is charged each month

      i=0.06412=0.00533333
    4. Find the regular payment: the same amount each month that would pay off the loan over the long schedule

      $200,000.00×0.005333331−(1+0.00533333)−312=$1,317.23
    5. Work out how much $1 grows at this rate over the k months before the balloon

      (1+0.00533333)72=1.46664815
    6. The balloon is what the loan P would grow to, minus what your payments would grow to over the same months

      $200,000.00×1.46664815−$1,317.23×1.46664815−10.00533333=$178,076.68
    7. Add up every regular payment and the balloon, then subtract what you borrowed. What's left is interest

      $1,317.23×72+$178,076.68−$200,000.00=$72,917.16

    2. Each interest-only payment is one month of interest on the full loan, with nothing toward the loan itself

      $205,000.00×0.00583333=$1,195.83
    3. No principal is repaid along the way, so the balloon is the whole loan amount

      balloon=$205,000.00
    4. Add up every regular payment and the balloon, then subtract what you borrowed. What's left is interest

      $1,195.83×84+$205,000.00−$205,000.00=$100,450.00
