Here's my JS function to calculate loan term which works, however when I put a value for the interestRate higher than 6, it creates an infinite loop. Please help
export const calculateLoanTerm = (amount, interestRate, monthlyPayment) => {
const monthlyInterestRate = interestRate / 100;
let balance = amount;
let term = 0;
while (balance > 0) {
const interest = balance * monthlyInterestRate;
const payment = Math.min(monthlyPayment, balance + interest);
balance -= payment - interest;
term++;
if (balance <= 0) break;
}
return term;
};
How can I restructure and avoid the loop?
Use test values;
interestRate = 7 // If you use 6 it works
monthlyPayment = 4,500,000
amount = 65,000,000
