Amortization with skipped payments

256 Views Asked by At

Amortization is usually calculated with the formula

where P is the loan,R is the monthly payment,r is the percent where it is compounded,and m is the compounding factor or rate of compounding and t is time in years

And if graphed in excela loan of 2,500,000 2% compounded annually with a monthly payment of 278316.32 will be fully paid in 10 years

So my question is how would it be to solve for the payment of the 10th payment or year if in the presented sheet, the eighth and ninth monthly payment would be skipped and the payment for the tenth year would still be able to pay off the loan.

tripling the payment in the tenth year to compensate the 2 missed payments still won't pay the loan

How do you solve for the exact value of the payment in the tenth year?Will there be a change in formula?how ?

I do not quite follow your notation, but if $A$ is your calculated periodic payment amount and you miss two payments, then the catch-up payment should be not $3A$ but perhaps $$A(1+i)^2+ A(1+i)+A= (3+3i+i^2)A$$ where $i$ is the effective interest rate per period.
