If there is a "balloon payment" (final balance), enter it into B4 as a positive value, and use the formula =PMT(B2, B3, -B1, B4). Those formulas also assume that payments are at the end of the period (i.e. end of month). That is typical. However, for car leases and such, the payment is at the beginning of the period.
In some cases, you may be able to negotiate with your finance provider to spread the balloon payment over monthly instalments – this is essentially what refinancing is. Doing this can help make the payment more manageable and reduce the financial strain of a large lump sum payment.
The term of a balloon mortgage is usually short (e.g., 5 years), but the payment amount is amortized over a longer term (e.g., 30 years). An advantage of these loans is that they often have a lower interest rate, but the final balloon payment is substantial.
However, the larger balloon payment at the end represents a substantial financial obligation that needs to be carefully planned and managed. Accounting Treatment: The balloon payment is usually recorded as a liability in the financial statements until it becomes due.
