Loan Simulator is a simple and powerful application for simulating loan scenarios, from auto loans to home mortgages.
A final balloon amount can be specified, as well as an additional amount added to each payment.
Double-clicking an individual payment amount in the amortization table allows setting a payment amount specific to that payment. The loan is re-amortized automatically.
Hovering over a payment in the amortization table will bring up a tooltip that displays that total principal and interest up to and including that payment. If multiple payments are selected, the tooltip will display the total principal and interest for only the selected payments.
If you are simulating an interest-only loan, Loan Simulator will ignore the Balloon Amount.
When simulating a conventional loan, the Balloon Amount must be less than the Principal Borrowed.
NOTE: To buy Loan Simulator via the App Store an Apple account is required.
