This Mortgage (Loan) Calculator application was created in VB.NET using a Progress Bar and a Data Grid View control. I was tired of the multi-line text box formatting issues and decided to step is up a notch. I hope this helps a few beginner VB.NET coders or programming students advance beyond the basic requirements for output. The results of this loan payment calculator are for comparison purposes only. They will be a close approximation of actual loan repayments if available at the terms entered, from a financial institution. This is being provided for you to plan your next loan application. To use, enter values for the Loan Amount, Number of Months for Loan, and the Interest Rate optionand click the Calculate button. Clicking the Reset button will clear entered values.

This application uses C++ in order to show how a mortgage payment loan calculator can be programmed. It is very basic and great for beginners. The basis of the application is a client needs a program that will calculate mortgage payments. I went a couple steps to buffer output in 12 month intervals as well as some color to spice things up a bit. I used Visual Studio 2008 to code the application but it uses native code so it should be somewhat portable on the Windows platform. If this is needed on other platforms the colors as well as the Windows header will have to be removed for compatibility. C++ is a general-purpose programming language. C++ is regarded as a middle-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled language where compilation creates machine code for the target machine hardware, supports procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming.
