About LoansMgr - an ncurses-based Loan Calculation Program
LoansMgr for Linux is a powerful but easy to use loan management
program intended for standard compound interest loans. Common
examples of such loans are car loans and mortgages. Given any three
of the four components of the basic compound interest equation
(Loan size, Payment Size, Interest Rate, and Number of Payments),
LoansMgr will solve for the remaining one, allowing the user to run
an unlimited number of "what if" scenarios.
In addition, LoansMgr will generate and maintain amortization
schedules, handle variable payment intervals (in units of weeks and
months), handle variable interest compounding periods per year, and
handle regularly scheduled additional principal payments. LoansMgr
also allows all data related to a given loan to be saved in a "loan
profile" file, and easily reloaded at a future date.
LoansMgr has been tested on several x86 Linux distros, including
Mandrake 10.1, SuSE 9.0, Debian 3.1, Knoppix 3.4, Damn Small Linux 0.82
and Yoper 2.1. LoansMgr's only software dependency is the availability
of ncurses. As a result, it is highly likely that the executable
provided with the distribution tarball will run directly on your
machine. If for any reason this is not true, the full source tree is
included, along with complete build instructions.
