------------------------------------

[~mexina] Hi, Thanks for your reply. I didn't get a notification for some reason.

Well, the end result is not the same as what we expect.
They want the _effect _of the declining interest rate but redistributed the differences in the installments to make them all equal amount. Their reasoning behind it is for simple people to be able to understand and we are learning that the majority of MFIs does that way.

If we use equal principal and flat rate configuration (as suggested in 1073), the total is completely different. It'd come out to a different annual rate but they wish to keep the same 30%.

Please review the left side of the excel spreadsheet to see the detail. 

Thanks again for your help.

> For loan repayment schedule, we would like to have an option for equal installment with equal interest and equal principal option.  Please see the attachment (left grid) for the sample schedule requested.
> Currently if we make equal installment, either principal or interest will be varying. We will arrive at the same interest total interest at the end but our MFIs would like to have flat interest and equal principal at the same time. 
> It's be immensely helpful for their borrowers to remember their balances and interest as they are all the same every time.
> Please refer to the spreadsheet.
