FAQ
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.
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 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.
Fortunately, Excel can be used to create an amortization schedule. The amortization schedule template below can be used for a variable number of periods, as well as extra payments and variable interest rates.
Example of Amortization In the first month, $75 of the $664.03 monthly payment goes to interest. The remaining $589.03 goes toward the principal. The total payment stays the same each month, while the portion going to principal increases and the portion going to interest decreases.
You can ask your lender for an amortization schedule, but this might not be as helpful if you're looking to see how extra payments could impact that schedule.
