M = P * ( J / (1 - (1 + J) * (-N * -N))) I'm not all that great at math so that's probably not right...just a guess. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

It's a mortgage calculation formula and I want to build a CF-based calculator. Here's the formula I found: M = P * ( J / (1 - (1 + J) ** -N)) M is Mortgage Payment P is Principal J is monthly interest in decimal form = I / (12 x 100) N is the number of months of the loan I'm not sure how to handle the ** -N part.the exponent. How would this be written using CF? Thanks for anyone's help.
