Apr calculation in FormCalc

Avatar

Level 1

Hi! Please, describe how to calculate Apr (annual percentage of rate). If you can, write a formula based on starting input values (principal amount of the loan, payment amount on the loan, number of periods in the loan’s duration).

Thanks for your time

Thanks for the reply. I already read that documentation, but my question is slightly different. I meant what formula should i use with theese input values, to get the result which FormCalc shows. Because i haven't found this one in the internet, which can give you the APR based on theese values.

Thanks.

I am also interested in this problem. Did you find that formula yet? If you have it, please post it in this thread.

Many thanks.

Steve, Do you know how to reverse a loan Payment? I have successfully coded the loan payment based on loan size, interest rate and term. I'm trying to calculate the loan size based on the monthly payment, term and interest rate. I can do it in excel but not in livecycle.

--Thanks.

I can help you with that if you still need it.

Do you have a working Loan Payment formula for a forms custom calc script?    This is what I have so far.  Would appreciate a "dumb down" response-my first go of it.

var AnnualRate = this.getField("Rate");

if(AnnualRate == null) app.alert("error interest rate field");

var NumberPayments = this.getField("Amortization");

if(NumberPayments == null) app.alert("error getting number of payments field");

var PresentValue = this.getField("Loan Amount");

if(PresentValue == null) app.alert("error getting present value field");

event.value = PMT( AnnualRate.value / 12, NumberPayments.value, PresentValue.value);

I can send you my form which has all the formula's needed to calculate mortgage payments as well as blended rates. I will need an email address to do so.

There is no PMT function in Acrobat, but you can write a function to perform that calculation.

Well, there is a PMT function in FormCalc you can use:

This is only available for XFA forms not for AcroForsm and you have to make sure that the selected language is FormCalc not JavaScript.
