This is what i have so far.. i've figured out how to do the mortgage payment but I am having trouble displaying the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. can someone please help with the code and formulas?

Here's the code i have thus far.

/*Heather Davison

 */
package mortgagecalc;

/* A program written in Java that will calculate and display the monthly payment amount to a $200,000.00 loan over a 30 year term at a 5.75‰ interest rate. */

import java.lang.Math.*;

/* Program uses the Math class to perform mathematical functions. */

public class Main //Beginning
{
    public static void main(String[] args) //tells the program what to do
    {
        /* P = principal, the initial amount of the loan
           I = the annual interest rate (from 1 to 100 percent)
           L = length, the length (in years) of the loan, or at least the length over which the loan is amortized.
           J = monthly interest in decimal form = I / (12 x 100)
           N = number of months over which loan is amortized = L x 12
           M = the monthly payment

           M = P * ( J / (1 - (1 + J) ** -N))

           Above are the definitions and terms to create an equation to calculate the mortgage payment.

When posting code please surround it with code tags. Use icon above to right.

Can you post specific questions about where you are having trouble?
If you get compile or execution errors, copy and paste the full text here.

If the program's output is not what you want, show the output and add comments describing why it is wrong and show what you want it to be.

I don't have any errors with the above code. I just need help displaying the loan balance and interest paid. It'll be an addition to the above code... I don't know what to start off with.

need help displaying the loan balance and interest paid.

Do you have a design on how you want to display it?

None in particular. Just want to get the answer for the balance and interest paid correct

I guess I don't understand your question. You have several print outs in your program such as the following. Why not use the same code as this:
System.out.println("Monthly payment = $ " +dblmonthlypayment)

I'm needing to add code that will display the balAnce and interest paid.. It's going to be addition to the above code

Ok that seems easy enough. Add two more System.out.println statements.

Ok this is what ive come up with.

But the interest paid is not right.. this is what i'm getting when i run it.

Ok, problem solved?

No.. i have something wrong with the interest paid formula or something.. it should not populate the same everytime. can you help me?

Please post your code in code tags. Use icon above to right.

something wrong with the interest paid formula or something

You'll have to identify exactly what is wrong to be able to fix it. Do the computations on a piece of paper and have your program print out the values and compare what you have on paper with what the computer prints out. You won't need to print out hundreds of lines, a few lines should show you where your computations are wrong.
