SCEX Calculation Specifications

The SCEX supports virtually all loan types, accrual methods, and payment protection products used across the country. A quick overview of the loan structures and calculations supported by the calculation engine follow.

Consumer Loan Calculations

• Equal payment loans (compute payment, proceeds, term, or rate given the other three values)
• Single payment notes
• Balloon loans (specify regular - compute final, specify final - compute regular, or specify an amortization term and loan term - compute regular and final payments)
• Student loans (multiple advances)
• Lines of credit

Commercial Loan Calculations

• Interest only loans (which may also precede equal and skipped payment loans)
• Principal plus interest loans (compute fixed principal reduction, specify principal reduction - compute final balloon, mixed principal plus / interest only [e.g. monthly interest only payments with quarterly fixed principal payments)
• Skipped and irregular payment schedules (specify skipped and irregular payment amounts - compute payment for all payments left unspecified, interest only payments may be specified instead of skipped [zero] payments, pickup payments [a specified addition to the computed regular payment amount] may be used instead of irregular payments), skipped payments with principal plus loans)
• Commercial Loans supporting multiple advances, overlapping payment streams, variable interest rates, and time-wise irregular payments

Fee Types

Inclusion of these fees will not affect the Regulation Z APR.
• APR Affecting Fees - These are generally called “Prepaid Finance Charges”, and are considered additions to the finance charge and will affect the Regulation Z APR for the loan in question. These may be paid up front or added to the principal and financed.
