Hi Srinivasa,

I've just checked your scenario and it seems that the reason why your calculations are different from those in Mifos is that Mifos at first calculates numbers without rounding.

So, Mifos creates repayment schedule from the numbers without rounding. Total (EMI) is also not rounded. In your case schedule looks like this:

*Installments*  *Principal*     *Interest*      *Total*
1       274,9379298687940       128,5545205479450       403,4924504167400
2       277,8833060150220       125,6091444017180       403,4924504167400
3       280,8602356127750       122,6322148039650       403,4924504167400
4       283,8690566902900       119,6233937264490       403,4924504167400
5       286,9101108970580       116,5823395196810       403,4924504167400
6       289,9837435426190       113,5087068741210       403,4924504167400
7       293,0903036357710       110,4021467809690       403,4924504167400
8       296,2301439242000       107,2623064925400       403,4924504167400
9       299,4036209345350       104,0888294822040       403,4924504167400
10      302,6110950128310       100,8813554039080       403,4924504167400
11      305,8529303654870       97,6395200512527        403,4924504167400
12      309,1294951005970       94,3629553161428        403,4924504167400
13      312,4411612697540       91,0512891469857        403,4924504167400
14      315,7883049102930       87,7041455064460        403,4924504167400
15      322,2123602947610       84,3211443287467        403,4924504167400
16      322,6231273790190       80,8693230377205        403,4924504167400
17      326,0793491671760       77,4131012495631        403,4924504167400


Then, Mifos takes those numbers and rounds them according to the specified rules and calculates Principal (Total - Interest):

*Installments*  *Principal*     *Interest*      *Total*
1       274,4   128,6   403
2       277,4   125,6   403
3       280,4   122,6   403
4       283,4   119,6   403
5       286,4   116,6   403
6       289,5   113,5   403
7       292,6   110,4   403
8       295,7   107,3   403
9       298,9   104,1   403
10      302,1   100,9   403
11      305,4   97,6    403
12      308,6   94,4    403
13      311,9   91,1    403
14      315,3   87,7    403
15      318,7   84,3    403
16      322,1   80,9    403
17      325,6   77,4    403


The reason why installments: 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 in your excelsheet are different from those in Mifos is that you are using rounded EMI in your calculations (403.00 instead of 403.4924504167400).

Moreover, total for the last installment is calculated in the following way:

sum of all totals without rounding - sum of all rounded totals (without the last installment)

So if you are using rounded total (EMI) then it is not possible to properly calculate total for the last installment.

Hi!

Help needed about Interest Calculations. (Interest rate type: Declining Balance) Loan Schedule calculated as per formula and taken Mifos Generated Schedule. Compared both schedules. Mifos generated Sch showing differences.

Created Example Detailed Excel Notes enclosed

        

Thanks
