Note that this monthly payment covers only the interest and the principal on the loan. It does not
cover any insurance or taxes on the property.
Amortization Schedule: In order to summari ze alltheinformation regarding the amortization of
a loan, construct a schedule that keeps track of the payment number, the principal paid, the
interest, and the unpaid balance. A spreadsheet program is an excellent tool to develop an
amortization schedule. We can use a free amortization spreadsheet on the
web.
'\
The web address is: http://wwu,.bretwhissel.net/amorlizatiorVamorlize.html. Enter the amount
of the loan, i.e. the selling price minus the down payment, the interest rate, and the appropriate
number of years. Check the box to show the schedule. If you are making extra payments
towards the principal, include it in the monthly payment and leave the number of payments box
blank.

As already mentioned, these payments are for principal and interest only. You will also have
monthly payments for home insurance and property taxes. In addition, it is helpful to have
money left over for those little luxuries like electricity, running water, and food. As a wise home
owner, you decide that your monthly principal and interest payment should not exceed 35% of
your monthly take-home pay. What minimum monthly take-home pay should you have in order
to meet this qoal? Show your'work for making this calculation.

It is also important to note that your net ot take-home pay (after taxes) is less than your gross pay
(before taxes). Assuming that your net pay is 73% of your gross pay, what minimum gross
annual salary will you need to make to have the monthly net salary stated above? Show your
