FAQ
This large amount is called a balloon payment, which pays down the remaining balance when the term ends. A balloon mortgage has a short term that does not fully amortize, but the payment is usually based on a 30-year amortization schedule. Balloon mortgages are usually associated with commercial real estate loans.
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.
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.
The downside of balloon payments Although a balloon-payment option can make your monthly payments more affordable, you're taking on extra debt to buy an asset that is depreciating – the value of your vehicle may end up less than the amount still owed.
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.
