Ryan and all ,
I tried this by changing the config setting to 365 days. But it did not have any impact on my repayment amounts. Not sure if this is one time setting which needs to be done at the start of the MIFOS and does not have any impact if changed later. Can someone confirm the behavior of this config value ?

Depending on how you set that configuration, it should change how this feature calculates the interest.

Can we possibly change it to 30/365? http://mifos.org/functional-specifications/system-processing/interest-calculations-loan-accounts Declining Balance Interest (EMI of Principal and Interest) Declining Balance Definition: Interest is computed at periodic intervals on the amount of the original principal that has not yet been repaid. Since the borrower only pays interest on that amount of original principal that has not yet been repaid, interest paid is smaller every period. However, to make sure that the borrower sets EMI, the formula is: EMI formula: EMI = i*P / [1- (1+i)^-n] Where, P = Loan amount r = Rate of interest per year n = Term of the loan in periods l = Length of a period (fraction of a year, i.e., 1/12 = 1 month (or 30/360), 14/360 = bi-weekly.) i = Interest rate per period (r*l) Regards, Miguel Jóia Santos Consultor/Gerente SBS - Soluções em Banca e Seguros Insurance and Banking Solutions cell: +258 823000231 cell: +258 847141055 telefax: + 258 21302599 ________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
