To get the latest stable version of this component use:

"require": {
    "springy-framework/installment-calc": "*"
}

in your composer.json file.

I suppose that the following example is all you need:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // If you're using Composer (recommended)

// Creates the object. Only the principal value is requered in constructor.
$installment = new Springy\InstallmentCalc(
    1000,
    0.5,
    Springy\InstallmentCalc::FORMULA_COMPOUND
);

/*
    Interst formula constants explained

    Springy\InstallmentCalc::FORMULA_SIMPLE - Simple interest
    Springy\InstallmentCalc::FORMULA_COMPOUND - Compound interest
    Springy\InstallmentCalc::FORMULA_BCB - Brazilian Central Bank interset formula
*/


// Gets future amount for 12 months
echo $installment->getFutureAmount(12);

// Gets total interest for 12 months
echo $installment->getInterest(12);

// Gets monthly installment for 12 months
echo $installment->getMonthlyInstallment(12);

// Gets current principal amount
echo $installment->getPrincipalAmount();

// Gets current interest formula method
echo $installment->getFormulaMethod();

// Gets current interes rate
echo $installment->getInterestRate();

// Changes the principal amount value
$installment->setPrincipalAmount(1999.99);

// Changes the interest formula value
$installment->setFormulaMethod(Springy\InstallmentCalc::FORMULA_SIMPLE);

// Changes the interest rate value
$installment->setInteresRate(1.99);
