GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 506807
LoanDruid amortization schedule is off by one month
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:58:11 UTC
Try setting up a 15-year 5.5 fixed-rate loan of $193,000. LoanDruid shows principal payments of 695.56, 698.75, 701.95 while Quicken and TCF yield : 692.39, 695.57, 698.75, 701.95 Same for the first random amortization tool I googled at http://ray.met.fsu.edu/~bret/amortize.html The first split between principal and interest is wrong in LoadDruid. I have seen a number of bugs mentioning that this type of one-off issues occurred in the past (see bug 105225), but since the problem still exists and essentially makes this feature unusable I thought I would file a bug report. Note that this loan amount/rate would break LoanDruid anyway as banks round up to one cent above what is predicted ans scheduled. It would be a better idea to let the user enter the monthly payment to avoid mismatches between the bank and scheduled transactions. This is what Quicken does, they must have a good reason for it :-)
Is this behaviour still in the latest version? If not this will be closed as obsolete.
it seems to be fixed, just tried on 2.4.7. This bug can be closed.
Thank you for your feedback. This bug will be closed as fixed.
