parameterized-mortgage 0.1.1

A simple python package to provide mortgage repayment calculations using the French method of amortization

Parameterized Mortgage

A package to provide an easily vizualizable mortgage class, built on the Holoviz Param and Panel packages.

Installation

Import the Mortgage class:

from parameterized_mortgage import Mortgage

Demo

The package includes a demo dashboard application to show how the Mortgage class can be embedded in visualizations using holoviz panel. See the code in parameterized_mortgage.dashboard to see how this is achieved.

To run the demo, install the package

Usage

Mortgage class constructor and user-set parameters

The Mortgage constructor takes 3 named parameters:

• principal (float): amount initially borrowed
• rate (float): annual interest rate expressed as a %
• term (int): mortgage term in years

e.g.:

mortgage = Mortgage(principal=300000, rate=4.5, term=20)

These three parameters can be re-set at any time and all other members will be recalculated automatically as a result.

e.g.:

mortgage.rate = 3.8

Other class members

Mortgage.monthly_payment: A float representing the value of monthly repayments without rounding

Mortgage.get_monthly_payment(): Returns the monthly repayment as a string, formatted to 2 decimal places

Mortgage.repayment_schedule(): Returns a pandas DataFrame containing the full repayment schedule or amortization table

Mortgage.annual_summary(): Returns a pandas DataFrame containing the repayment schedule summarized by year

Mortgage.lifetime_summary(): Returns a pandas DataFrame containing the repayment schedule summarized over the whole lifetime of the mortgage

Mortgage.custom_widgets(): Returns dictionary detailing customised widgets for a panel.Param object that will allow the user-set parameters to be incorporated easily in a dashboard

Mortgage.amortization_chart(): Returns a plot of the outstanding loan over time

Mortgage.chart_interest_vs_capital(): Returns a plot of the interest and capital components of monthly payments over time
