You need a financial calculator or computer program like TValue for this calculation. I doubt anyone knows the formulas anymore.

Will someone please give me the formula for calculating the yield on a note amortized for 30 years with a 5 year balloon?

Many thanks,

If it is a fully amortizing loan, it’s the same rate as the mortgage. Most financial calculators assume that the balloon payment is paid with the last scheduled payment. The final payment you make is the total of the monthly payment and the balloon.

If the loan is not a fully amortizing loan, but has negotiated payments, the rate will be different.

The total yield on a balloon note is equal to or slightly less than the stated interest on the note.

If the note is interest only, then the yield is equal to the stated rate. For an amortizing note, the yield is slightly less than the stated interest rate.

I know you asked for a formula, but I hope this helps.
