Thomas, To be clear that FLAT rates will never be equal to Declining balance, they are calculated completely differently - a quick search online should help clarify that. But I would agree, that Declining Balance with interest recalculation should be nearly equivalent to Declining Balance - Altho

Hello Keith, It would be nice if total interest due for the whole loan adds up to effectively bring the total installments due for the whole loan similar to that of Flat or Declining Balance. Or if Declining Balance with interest recalculation can be calculated Monthly instead of Daily. I have bee

Thomas, you would expect the total interest due for first installment of the loan whether its flat or declining to be the same. However mifos 'produces equal installments by default' and so the total installment due might well be off due to this. are you talking about the total installment due or

Thomas, Rather than try to deal with workarounds, it would be better if we implemented exactly what you require. I think jakub/soldevho recently put in support for 'flat' interest method (might be wrong) but i guess the problem is that when first calculating the loan schedule (monthly or weekly pe

Hi, thanx for the reply. The Interest rate is 10% per month (120% per annum), Loan Product is setup for Monthly Repaymnt is Monthly. My feeling is that mifos's Declining Balance- Interest Recalculation is calculating, Interest PER DAY and not PER MONTH hence the variance in figures from that of Fl

Hello Thomas; Is the interest rate 10% or 120%, you have indicated 120 in your email but just when you calculate the percentage simply to get repayment of 2,200,000/= from a loan of 2,000,000 the rate is 10. Declining balance will be different from Flat if there are more than one installment which
