Hints:

-Find a formula to calculate the payment amount.

-To use the formula you will need to calculate a few things based on the user input.

-You will need to know the number of monthly payments for the loan. Your formula might call this the length of the loan.

-You will need to know the interest rate per month.

-Now you can start.

-Calculate the number of monthly payments.

-Calculate the interest rate per month.

-Calculate the payment amount.

-You should test this by calculating manually on paper and using a php fiddle to test your code calculations.

-Compare your results to any online mortgage calculator.

-Now use a loop to display each month of the amortization table.

-For each month calculate the balance and the portion of the payment that is principal and interest.

-For the first month, the balance is the same as the loan amount.

-The interest portion of the payment for that month is the balance times the interest rate per month.

-The principal portion of the payment for that month is the payment amount minus the interest portion.

-The balance for that month is the balance from the previous month minus the principal portion of the payment.
