What a balloon payment is along with its main advantages and disadvantages.

What is a Balloon Payment?

A balloon payment is an amount due after a balloon loan's specified number of years have passed.

A balloon loan is usually stated in a "pre-balloon-years/payment-based-on-years" format.

For example, if a balloon loan's payment is based on a 30-year payback period, and the balance is due after 3 years, that would be considered a "3/30" balloon loan.

This would mean that the payment amount would be calculated as if the loan were going to be paid back over a 30-year period -- which essentially lowers the payment for the pre-balloon period.

Then, after the 3-year pre-balloon period is up, the balance of the loan must either be paid off or converted into another loan.

Why a Balloon Loan?

The primary reasons you might consider choosing a balloon loan over a conventional loan, are because:

  • Balloon loans tend to be easier to qualify for.
  • Balloon loans typically come with lower interest rates.

Why Not a Balloon Loan?

The downside is that you risk being forced into a higher interest rate loan if you can't pay the balance when it comes due.

Adjust Calculator Width:

Move the slider to left and right to adjust the calculator width. Note that the Help and Tools panel will be hidden when the calculator is too wide to fit both on the screen. Moving the slider to the left will bring the instructions and tools panel back into view.

Also note that some calculators will reformat to accommodate the screen size as you make the calculator wider or narrower. If the calculator is narrow, columns of entry rows will be converted to a vertical entry form, whereas a wider calculator will display columns of entry rows, and the entry fields will be smaller in size ... since they will not need to be "thumb friendly".

Show/Hide Popup Keypads:

Select Show or Hide to show or hide the popup keypad icons located next to numeric entry fields. These are generally only needed for mobile devices that don't have decimal points in their numeric keypads. So if you are on a desktop, you may find the calculator to be more user-friendly and less cluttered without them.

Stick/Unstick Tools:

Select Stick or Unstick to stick or unstick the help and tools panel. Selecting "Stick" will keep the panel in view while scrolling the calculator vertically. If you find that annoying, select "Unstick" to keep the panel in a stationary position.

If the tools panel becomes "Unstuck" on its own, try clicking "Unstick" and then "Stick" to re-stick the panel.
