Pure calculation · nothing persisted

EndpointsPOST /v1/loans?command=calculateLoanSchedule

A schedule preview answers “what would this contract look like?” without creating a loan. Because the calculation evaluates the product’s current configuration, re-running the same body after a product change can produce a different schedule.

A preview worth showing a borrower is one that reconciles to the contract totals.

Submit the application body

No mutation

POST/v1/loans?command=calculateLoanSchedule

The body is the same one used for loan creation—same term fields, same charges, same dateFormat and locale—so the preview you show is the schedule you would originate.

CHECKclient-side assertions

Do not validate only the first installment. Assert the whole schedule:

sum(period.principalDue)              = 8,400.00
sum(period.interestDue)               =   908.52
sum(period.feeChargesDue)             =     0.00
sum(period.totalDueForPeriod)         = 9,308.52
last principalLoanBalanceOutstanding  =     0.00
18 due dates are strictly increasing and match the monthly calendar policy

The $252.00 prepaid finance charge affects amountFinanced and APR, but it is collected at disbursement and therefore does not appear as an installment fee. That distinction is a deliberate disclosure classification, not missing schedule money.

Harbor's first installment

interest = 8,400.00 × 13.25% ÷ 12; principal = payment − interest

Opening principal: $8,400.00
Interest: $92.75
Payment: $517.14
Principal paid: $424.39
Closing principal: $7,975.61

A schedule preview is not a Regulation Z disclosure and is not the schedule of record. Origination creates the loan; the authoritative schedule is then embedded in the loan at GET /v1/loans/{loanId}?associations=repaymentSchedule, and the APR disclosure is finalized automatically at approval.
