  1. I use a similar concept, but mine is an Excel spreadsheet. I have all of the contact info embedded in a time phased income and expense sheet. I also list the withholdings from my paycheck in order to have a good estimate at financial aid time.

  2. Please tell me how to modify the program to calculate compounded interest charges. As the program currently stands, I have to manually enter day one balance and multiply it by 0.019836 DPR same as 7.24%APR for my card, and when finished, the screen looks something like 0.8374837223 in the purchase column and $4,224 [as an example] in the day two column. When you click on the payment column showing 0.83, then it shows the full number 0.8374837223. Therefore, I have to open my calculator program and manually calculate day 2 through day 30 of interest. When I have entered in the DPR for each day in that day’s purchase column, then the program calculates everything else perfectly.
    Please respond. Thanks Michael H.
    P.S. After H.R. 627 goes into law next year, credit card companies will not be allowed to charge interest on fees and interest. Also, sometimes credit cards will have different APRs on different purchases. [Note for further research.]
