Alternatively, you could make the fractional payment together with the 327th payment. (Doing so will result in a somewhat smaller total of all payments, since you will not have to pay interest during the 328th payment period.) You can calculate this final, larger, 327th payment (essentially a balloon payment) as follows:

Instead of having a fractional (or balloon) payment at the end of the loan, you might wish to make 327 or 328 equal payments. Refer to “Calculating the Payment Amount” on page 58 for a complete description of this procedure.
