Meaning, then the identity

interest only means the result of the identity on the interest only calculator. PP is the outstanding balance and rr the annual rate as a decimal. There is no term in the formula, because nothing is being repaid.

Not a recommendation

A meaning is not a plan. Educational material, not financial advice. The what-is page is the companion wording.
