numpy.pmt()

numpy.pmt(rate, nper, pv, fv=0, when='end') [source]

Compute the payment against loan principal plus interest.

Given:

a present value, pv (e.g., an amount borrowed)
a future value, fv (e.g., 0)
an interest rate compounded once per period, of which there are
nper total
and (optional) specification of whether payment is made at the beginning (when = {?begin?, 1}) or the end (when = {?end?, 0}) of each period

Return:

the (fixed) periodic payment.

Parameters:

Parameters:	rate : array_like Rate of interest (per period) nper : array_like Number of compounding periods pv : array_like Present value fv : array_like, optional Future value (default = 0) when : {{?begin?, 1}, {?end?, 0}}, {string, int} When payments are due (?begin? (1) or ?end? (0))
Returns:	out : ndarray Payment against loan plus interest. If all input is scalar, returns a scalar float. If any input is array_like, returns payment for each input element. If multiple inputs are array_like, they all must have the same shape.

rate : array_like

Rate of interest (per period)

nper : array_like

Number of compounding periods

pv : array_like

Present value

fv : array_like, optional

Future value (default = 0)

when : {{?begin?, 1}, {?end?, 0}}, {string, int}

When payments are due (?begin? (1) or ?end? (0))

Returns:

out : ndarray

Payment against loan plus interest. If all input is scalar, returns a scalar float. If any input is array_like, returns payment for each input element. If multiple inputs are array_like, they all must have the same shape.

Notes

The payment is computed by solving the equation:

fv +
pv*(1 + rate)**nper +
pmt*(1 + rate*when)/rate*((1 + rate)**nper - 1) == 0

or, when rate == 0:

1	`fv` `+` `pv` `+` `pmt` `*` `nper` `==` `0`

for pmt.

Note that computing a monthly mortgage payment is only one use for this function. For example, pmt returns the periodic deposit one must make to achieve a specified future balance given an initial deposit, a fixed, periodically compounded interest rate, and the total number of periods.

Examples

What is the monthly payment needed to pay off a $200,000 loan in 15 years at an annual interest rate of 7.5%?

>>> np.pmt(0.075/12, 12*15, 200000)
-1854.0247200054619

In order to pay-off (i.e., have a future-value of 0) the $200,000 obtained today, a monthly payment of $1,854.02 would be required. Note that this example illustrates usage of fv having a default value of 0.
