How a Balloon Loan Works
A balloon loan has payments figured as if the loan ran for a long amortization period, such as 30 years, but the whole remaining balance comes due much sooner. That final lump sum is the balloon payment.
Monthly payment = PMT(rate ÷ 12, amortization years × 12, loan)
Balloon = balance remaining after the balloon year's last payment

Tips
Most borrowers plan to sell or refinance before the balloon is due, which works only if rates, credit and home values cooperate. Balloon loans are common in commercial real estate and seller financing. Some loans pay only interest until the balloon; use the interest-only calculator for those.
