FAQ
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).
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.
The formula for using the PMT function in Excel is as follows. =PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type) =IF(E8=”Monthly”,12,IF(E8=”Quarterly”,4,IF(E8=”Semi-Annual”,2,IF(E8=”Annual”,1)))) =PMT(0.50%,240,400k)
The PMT() function in Excel calculates regular payment amounts for loans or investments with constant payments and a fixed interest rate. For a typical 30-year $300,000 mortgage with a 4.5% annual interest rate, the monthly payment would be approximately $1,520.06. The formula would be: =PMT(4.5%/12, 3012, 300000)
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.
Risk of Foreclosure if Unable to Make Payments The most significant risk of a balloon mortgage is foreclosure if the borrower can't make the balloon payment at the end of the term. Foreclosure can result in the loss of the home, emotional distress, and impact the borrower's credit negatively, generally for seven years.
Accounting Treatment: The balloon payment is usually recorded as a liability in the financial statements until it becomes due.
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.
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.
