You need to do this in JavaScript or with a server side script using

send and Load variables.


If you need this to work without external scripting then you need to

have the Term and the Compound periods limited only to whole numbers. If

you allow non-integers to be entered then they will be truncated and

produce inaccurate results.


Set Variable: "Balance" = Principle

Set Variable: "i" = 1

Loop While (i <= Term * Period)

      Set Variable: "Balance" = (Balance * (1 + Rate/Period))

      Set Variable: "i" = i + 1

End Loop
