// Mortgage Payment Calculator program
// This program determines the monthly payments on a
// mortgage given the loan amount, the yearly interest,
// and the number of years.

int main()
{
// Amount of loan

// Calculate values
monthlyInterest = yearly_interest / 12;
numberOfPayments = number_of_years * 12;
payment =(loan_amount * pow(monthlyInterest + 1, numberOfPayments) * monthlyInterest)/(pow(monthlyInterest + 1, numberOfPayments) - 1);

// Output results

cout << \" your monthly payments are $\" << payment
<< \".\" << endl;

return 0;
}

Output:

Enter Amount of loan: 1000

Enter yearly interest rate: 10

Enter time period: 3
For a loan amount of 1000.00 with an interest rate of 10.00 and a 3 year mortgage,
your monthly payments are $833.33.
