Balloon Payment Due vs Amortization Period
Formule
Balloon Mortgages
A balloon mortgage has lower monthly payments based on a long amortization schedule, but the remaining balance comes due in a lump sum (the balloon payment) after a shorter term.
How It Works
1. Payments are calculated as if the loan runs the full amortization period (e.g., 30 years) 2. After the balloon term (e.g., 7 years), the entire remaining balance is due 3. Most borrowers refinance or sell before the balloon date
Balloon Balance Formula
Balance = P x [(1+r)^N - (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^N - 1]
Where P is the original loan, N is the amortization months, and n is the months paid.

Exemple Résolu
A $250,000 loan at 7%, amortized over 30 years, with a 7-year balloon.
- 01Monthly payment (30-year amortization): $1,663.26
- 02Payments made: 84 months x $1,663.26 = $139,714
- 03Balloon balance after 7 years: $228,951

Questions Fréquentes
What happens if I cannot pay the balloon?
If you cannot refinance or sell by the balloon date, you may face foreclosure. Some loans have a conditional refinance option or reset feature. Always have an exit strategy planned well before the balloon date.
Why would anyone choose a balloon mortgage?
Balloon mortgages often carry lower interest rates than comparable fixed-rate loans. They make sense for short-term holds, properties being renovated for resale, or commercial properties where refinancing is part of the business plan.
How is a balloon different from an ARM?
A balloon mortgage has a lump-sum payoff due at a specific date. An ARM adjusts the interest rate periodically but continues with regular payments. A balloon forces refinancing; an ARM just changes your rate and payment.
