ATLAS / PLANNING TOOLS
Balloon payment savings planner.
Work out a simple monthly saving amount towards a final balloon payment, based on the amount already set aside and months remaining.
How this model works.
Assumes equal monthly saving amounts and no interest or investment return.
Existing savings are assumed available for this purpose and are not counted against other commitments.
This saving amount is separate from your regular loan repayment. The contract’s final payment date and amount still apply.

Questions about this tool
What needs to be set aside each month?
Make a plan that does not rely solely on resale or future refinancing. If the amount is already covered, the monthly saving calculation is zero, but the contractual payment is still due.
Does this tool determine approval or borrowing capacity?
No. It models the values you enter. It does not assess credit history, lender eligibility or approval.
Can I change the example assumptions?
Yes. Enter figures from your own scenario or a specific written proposal, and check the model assumptions before relying on the result.
