Example

See additional examples

// Amount of regular payments. The initial capital is set to 100000 Euros.
// The payments are paid each month during 2 years.
// The interest rate is set to 8%.
ResRepayVal = FinRepayVal(100000, 24, 8)

Syntax

<Result> = FinRepayVal([<Initial capital> [, <Number of periods> [, <Rate>]]])

<Result>: Real or currency

Amount of regular payments.

<Initial capital>: Optional real or currency

Initial capital (0 by default). This parameter indicates the amount on which the calculation must be performed.
In the "standard" case of a borrower, this capital is borrowed and therefore it corresponds to a negative value.
If this parameter is positive, the calculation is performed for a lender. The returned value is negative: this value corresponds to the amount that must be paid.

<Number of periods>: Optional integer

Total number of periods for the operation (1 by default).

<Rate>: Optional real

Interest rate of investment expressed in percentage (1 by default). For example, for a 5% rate, this parameter will be set to 5.

Remarks

Time unit

The calculations can be performed according to months or years. <Rate> and <Period> must correspond to the same unit.

Therefore, for monthly payments of a 4-year loan with a yearly interest rate set to 12%, use:

<Rate> = 12% / 12,
<Number of periods> = 4*12

For the same loan with yearly payments, use:

<Rate> = 12%,
<Number of periods> = 4

For all the parameters, the payments are represented by a negative number while the collections are represented by a positive number.

This example is used to simulate loans and to:
- calculate the amount of the monthly repayments from the amount borrowed
- calculate the amount that can be borrowed from a given monthly repayment
- calculate the income of an investment from a monthly payment

For each case, you have the ability to view the amortization table corresponding to your parameters.
