Loan payment formula |
2019-02-24 |
|
From Kenneth:
I have a question regarding the loan payment formula shown below.
Calculating the Payment Amount per Period
The formula for calculating the payment amount is shown below.
Simple Amortization Calculation Formula
A = P X r(1 + r)n over (1 + r)n - 1
where
A = payment Amount per period
P = initial Principal (loan amount)
r = interest rate per period
n = total number of payments or periods
Is this formula/calculation a condensed version of a longer calculation? I am curious to know how the (1 +r)n - 1 was developed from the longer calculation. For example, r(1 + r)n may have been (r + rn)n. The n's are exponents.
I thank you for whatever helpful explanation that may be provided.

Paycheck after deductions |
2014-02-23 |
|
From Louise: So I got a paycheck for 89.02 they took out in deductions 15.69.
I want to know the percentage they are taking out so that I can figure my take home pay each week before I get it. So I know what to expect for pay each week so I can budget my bills from now on a weekly basis. If I know the percentage than I can just figure out the percentage through how many hours in the week I worked and multiply my gross pay and know what my take home will be Answered by Penny Nom. |

From Jim: I want to set up a spread sheet where i can enter my hourly pay or gross income,
and calculate my tax deductions. I have my old pay stubs but I am stuck when I
take the amount of the deduction and try to figure out the % used to calculate the amount
for example gross pay $1359, EI= $64, Fed Tax=$129, Prov tax = $35
these numbers I have provided are random but I think you can get the idea Answered by Penny Nom. |

26 paychecks |
2009-01-21 |
|
From Kenneth: Hello:
If someone is paid every two weeks, he receives 26 paychecks per year, (52 weeks/year)divided by (2 weeks/1 check) equals 26 paychecks per year.
However, if the calculation uses days instead of weeks, the answer is not exactly 26 paychecks. For example, 365 days divided by 14 days per paycheck
equals 26 1/14 paychecks. Fourteen days is equivalent to two weeks, isn't it?
Why is there this fractional amount of 1/14 of a paycheck? Answered by Robert Dawson and Victoria West. |

Real Pay |
2005-11-07 |
|
From Judy: Is there a formula for computing "real pay"? Example - you are offered a position in your home town for $A, and another position in another town for $B. To work at $B job there would be so many hours in commute time involved (z), and a real daily commute cost (either train, bus, or auto mileage-wear, etc.) (x). How would you calculate the real pay of job $B in relation to job $A?
