The Ultimate Loan Spreadsheet is a comprehensive tool that allows you to track and estimate how much principle of a loan you still owe. It is versatile and can be used to analyze various types of loans including home, car, student, and commercial loans. It also provides the feature of analyzing whether refinancing a loan is to your advantage. The tool also includes loan amortization graphs that illustrate the specific loan amortization schedule. Comparatively, other loan tracking tools may not offer the same level of detail or versatility. However, the exact comparison would depend on the specific tool in question.

Loan amortization graphs in the Ultimate Loan Spreadsheet play a crucial role in illustrating the specific loan amortization schedule. They provide a visual representation of how the principal amount of the loan is paid off over time, showing the decrease in the loan balance with each payment. This can help users understand the progress of their loan repayment and how much of the principal amount they still owe.

The refinance comparison graph can aid in making decisions about loan refinancing by providing a visual representation of different refinancing options. It allows you to compare and contrast several options, helping you to understand how your balloon-payment changes as you pay more towards your principal over time. This can help you decide whether refinancing a loan is to your advantage.

A balloon payment in commercial loans is a large payment due at the end of the loan term. This is different from regular payments that are made up of both principal and interest. The balloon payment is typically the remaining principal balance on the loan. It allows for lower regular payments during the loan term, but requires the borrower to make a large lump sum payment at the end. This can be beneficial for businesses that expect to have increased cash flow in the future, but it also carries the risk of default if the business cannot make the large final payment.

In the Ultimate Loan Spreadsheet, balloon payments play a significant role in the calculation of the monthly total payment. A balloon payment is a large, lump-sum payment made at the end of a long-term loan. It's called a "balloon payment" because of its large size. In the context of the spreadsheet, if there is a balloon payment, the spreadsheet takes it into account when calculating the monthly total payment. This means that the monthly total payment will be lower than it would be without a balloon payment, as part of the loan's principal is deferred until the end of the loan term, which is when the balloon payment is made.

The car loan amortization graph illustrates the decrease in outstanding loan over time by showing the gradual reduction of the loan balance. At the start, a large portion of each payment goes towards interest, with a smaller part reducing the loan balance. As time goes on, the interest portion decreases, and more of each payment goes towards reducing the loan balance. This process is visually represented in the graph, showing the outstanding loan decreasing over time.

The Ultimate Loan Spreadsheet calculates the breakeven point of switching to a new loan by comparing the details of the current and any potential new loan. It calculates the difference in interest and total payment between the old and new loan. The breakeven point is determined when the total payment of the new loan becomes less than the total payment of the old loan. This comparison is illustrated with a graph, where the solid line indicates the new loan and the dotted line indicates the current loan.

The dotted line in the refinance comparison graph indicates the current loan.
