Version: 1 | Requires: CF5 | Library: FinancialLib

Description:
Calculate the payment on a loan given the interest rate, periods, and present value. The value returned is negative since the payment represents a reduction in the account. To get the simple value, call Abs on the result.

Return Values:
Returns a numeric value.

Example:

Payment = <cfoutput>#Payment(0.08,20000,0,24)#</cfoutput>

Parameters:

Name Description Required
IR Interest rate per year (8.5% = 0.085) Yes
PV Present Value Yes
FV Future Value (Generally zero for calculating payments. Non zero for pay down to ammount.) Yes
NP Number of periods. Yes
