Using the Financial Calculator
</title>
<para>
Given that you know the payment interval and compound interval, given
any four of Present Value, Future Value, Interest Rate, Periodic Payment,
and number of Payment Periods, you can instantly find the missing figure
using GnuCash's financial calculator.
If you need an explanation of those concepts, see the
<link linkend="xacc-compound-interest">compound interest tutorial</link>.
</para>
<para>
To use the financial calculator, find it on the "tools" menu.
</para>
<para><emphasis>PICTURE NEEDED</emphasis>
<para>To do a calculation, simply enter the figures that you <emphasis>do</emphasis>
have into the text boxes on the left, and select the appropriate compounding and
payment intervals on the right. Then, to calculate the figure that you <emphasis>want</emphasis>, simply click on the appropriate "calculate" button.
</para>
<para>For instance, say you have a loan of $5,000 at %5, compounding monthly, and are
paying back $200 at the end of each month.
How many payment periods is it going to take to pay
back the loan? Easy. Enter "5000" as the present value, the interest rate as "5",
the periodic payment as <emphasis>-200</emphasis> - note that if you are paying money
back, this number should be negative, and the future value "0", select the appropriate
compounding and payment options (make sure that the "discrete compounding" radio
button is selected), and then press "calculate" for the "payment periods" box.
You should find that "26" appears in the "Payment Period" box. Therefore, you'll need
to make 26 monthly payments to pay back the loan.
</sect1>
<sect1 id="xacc-compound-interest">
<title>
Explaining Compound Interest
</title>
<sect2>
<title>
Introduction
</title>
<para>
GnuCash offers the facility to do simple interest calculations
for loans and interest-bearing deposits, giving you the ability
to answer questions like "How long will it take me to pay off
this loan?", "Which of these two term deposits generate better
returns?", and "What loan payments do I need to make to pay
off this loan in, say, five years?" GnuCash's financial
calculator gives you that information, and more.
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>
How Interest Works
</title>
<para>
There's two angles for talking about interest -
interest-bearing accounts such as savings accounts
and term deposits, when financial institutions pay
you for the use of your money. Alternatively,
we can discuss interest in the context of loans, where
you pay your financial institution for using their money.
To make things simple, we'll talk about loans first.
</para>
<para>
Firstly, let's consider the simplest possible loan
where with a simple interest rate and we pay it
back at the conclusion of the term. For example,
let's say we borrow $10,000 (in financial terms,
the <emphasis>Present Value</emphasis> is $10,000)
for one year at an interest rate of 10% per annum
that doesn't compound. How much do we owe at the end
of it?
In this case, calculating the <emphasis>Future Value</emphasis>
that we owe is easy: it's just
</para>
<programlisting>
Future Value = Present Value + (10 % * Present Value)
= 10,000 + (10% * 10,000)
= 11,000
</programlisting>
<para>
Now, let's make things a bit more interesting.
Let's make the interest <emphasis>compound</emphasis>
monthly. After the first month, then, you'll owe
</para>
<programlisting>
Future Value = 10,000 + (10% * 1/12)
~= 10,083.33
</programlisting>
<para>Now, for the second month, you'll pay interest
on the 10,083.83, so the value after the second month
is:
</para>
<programlisting>
Future Value = 10,083.83 + (10% * 1/12)
~= 10167.36
</programlisting>
<para>
Eventually, after 12 months, you'll owe $11,047.13, rather
than the $11,000 you would have paid with simple interest.
</para>
<para>
Next, we'll make things more complex again - let's say
we'll make a <emphasis>periodic payment</emphasis> of
$200 at the end of every month? Well, let's see. After
one month, you'd owe:
</para>
<programlisting>
Future Value = Present Value + Interest - Periodic Payment
after month 1 = 10,000 + (10% * 1/12) - 200
= 9,883.33
</programlisting>
<para>
After one year, if you do the calculations, you'll still
owe $8534.02 (if I've done my maths right . . .)
</para>
<para>
For our final example, consider <emphasis>continuous compounding</emphasis>,
where interest is charged continuously. Explaining this calculation in
detail requires a little bit of university-level maths, but, roughly,
imagine that the payment periods are, really, really, really small!
I can't easily show you the calculations for this, but that doesn't
matter. GnuCash's financial calculator can do them!
</para>
<para>
So, to summarize, the following bits of information are used in interest
calculations:

</para>
<para>
General ledgers show the ledger entries in all the accounts
a transaction appears in, which you can edit directly. Note that
the general ledger window is more complicated and harder to use
than the individual account registers. The general ledger
window allows a more comprehensive overview of accounts in a
smaller and quicker-to-navigate (for experienced users who know exactly what
they are doing) space. Because of its increased complexity, it use is
recommended only for accounting experts.

The Toolbar and the Summary Bar
</title>
<para>
The toolbar is located immediately below the menu bar, and
provides shortcuts to commonly used functions. As with
the menu, it changes depending on whether the window contains
a report or an account tree.
</para>
<para>
The Summary Bar displays your net assets and profit/earnings
at a glance.

Docking, Moving, and Tearing Off

<para>
If you have the right GNOME settings, you can move the menu bar,
toolbar, and summary bar around as you please by simply clicking
on the handle on their left, and dragging them where you want.
You can even drag them completely outside the GnuCash window, if
you so choose.
If you can't do this, you may need to change in the "Look and
Feel" tab of the GNOME configuration tool.
