% Below Note Rate
Bases the minimum payment at a rate less than the note rate.
If the percent below the note rate is 3% and the note rate is 7%, the formula is
7% – 3% = 4%. Therefore, the minimum payment is calculated by using 4%
as the rate.
% of Amortized Payment
Bases the minimum payment on a percentage of the fully amortized payment.
If the percent of amortized payment is 55% and the full payment is $1,432, the
formula is $1,432 x .55 = $788.05 minimum payment.
