Note: Try to use another module than this one for Finances.
I thought there was no other modules when I wrote this module that dealt with calcualting loans. Turns out, there are many. Please consider using one of the other modules if you need to calculate something more complicated.
new Finance::Loan(principle=>1000,interest_rate=>.07,number_of_months=>36)
Creates a new loan object. Ensure that interest_rate is a decimal. So, a 7 percent interest rate is .07 while a 14 percent interest rate is .14
$loan->getMonthlyPayment()
Returns the monthly payment on the loan.
$loan->getInterestPaid()
Returns the total amount of interest that needs to be paid on the loan.
$loan->getDailyInterest();
Returns the daily interest on the loan.
BUGS
* The function get payment after payment N was broken, so I removed the function.
DISCLAIMER
Calculations are presumed to be reliable, but not guaranteed.
