numpy.ipmt

numpy.ipmt(rate, per, nper, pv, fv=0.0, when='end')

Compute the interest portion of a payment.

Parameters :

rate : scalar or array_like of shape(M, )

Rate of interest as decimal (not per cent) per period

per : scalar or array_like of shape(M, )

Interest paid against the loan changes during the life or the loan. The per is the payment period to calculate the interest amount.

nper : scalar or array_like of shape(M, )

Number of compounding periods

pv : scalar or array_like of shape(M, )

Present value

fv : scalar or array_like of shape(M, ), optional

Future value

when : {{‘begin’, 1}, {‘end’, 0}}, {string, int}, optional

When payments are due (‘begin’ (1) or ‘end’ (0)). Defaults to {‘end’, 0}.

Returns :

out : ndarray

Interest portion of payment. If all input is scalar, returns a scalar float. If any input is array_like, returns interest payment for each input element. If multiple inputs are array_like, they all must have the same shape.

Notes

The total payment is made up of payment against principal plus interest.

pmt = ppmt + ipmt

Examples

What is the amortization schedule for a 1 year loan of $2500 at 8.24% interest per year compounded monthly?

>>> principal = 2500.00

The ‘per’ variable represents the periods of the loan. Remember that financial equations start the period count at 1!

>>> per = np.arange(1*12) + 1
>>> ipmt = np.ipmt(0.0824/12, per, 1*12, principal)
>>> ppmt = np.ppmt(0.0824/12, per, 1*12, principal)

Each element of the sum of the ‘ipmt’ and ‘ppmt’ arrays should equal ‘pmt’.

>>> pmt = np.pmt(0.0824/12, 1*12, principal)
>>> np.allclose(ipmt + ppmt, pmt)
True

>>> fmt = '{0:2d} {1:8.2f} {2:8.2f} {3:8.2f}'
>>> for payment in per:
...     index = payment - 1
...     principal = principal + ppmt[index]
...     print fmt.format(payment, ppmt[index], ipmt[index], principal)
