523A LoanMaker PC
 Calculates Consumer Loans with Credit Insurance
and HOEPA Warning Feature

Main Input Dialog

This is the main input dialog for the LoanMaker 523A. The data is entered in each of the fields, and then the [Compute] button is clicked to compute the loan.

The LoanMaker PC 523A program calculates installment loans with credit life and accident-&-health (disability) insurance.

Full and truncated credit life and accident-&-health insurance calculations are performed, including the implementation of underwriting limits for maximum amounts and terms.

It supports loans with odd-days by a variety of calendar systems (Actual/365, Actual to first, Actual/360, Federal Calendar).  Interest is calculated by the U.S. Escrow Rule.

The Loan and First Due Dates can be selected from a drop-down calendar -- just click the down arrow to the right of the date.  The program is Year 2000 Compliant.

Includes HOEPA (Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act) warnings -- alerts you when the additional HOEPA disclosure is required.

You can use the new mouse "wheel" to change the values in most input fields, for example, rolling the wheel forward increases the interest rate in 0.25% steps.

This 32-bit program requires Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP to run.  It has a built-in help system -- just click the question mark icon at the upper-right corner of any dialog and then click on the  field you want help on.

The financial calculator used in this program is also available for mainframe systems - see the LoanMaker LMSP product.

HOEPA Setup Dialog
For Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act

 This dialog is used to set the criteria to test the computed loan to determine if the additional HOEPA disclosure needs to be made.

If the total fees (including credit insurance premiums, financed fees, and any prepaid finance charge) exceed the greater of the Max Percent or Flat Amount, the program generates the warning (see below).

If the computed APR exceeds the APR Limit (based on the loan term) entered in this dialog, the program generates the warning (see below).

See the HOEPA Final Rule (PDF File).

Results Window

This window shows the computed loan results. This is a complete loan disclosure that shows all the information needed to complete a loan agreement. You can compute several windows like this so you can easily compare loans for the borrower.




Multiple loans can be computed and the results displayed on the screen simultaneously, making it very easy to compare a number of proposals.  The results can be printed or copied to the Windows clipboard.

Demonstration copies are available with your credit insurance plan -- email us at the address at the bottom of this page. 

The 523A LoanMaker PC is available in a variety of configurations, including Local, Floppy-based (can be run without installing), Enterprise and Network Versions.
