installments will consist of relatively larger interest payments and relatively smaller principle amount payments. Near the end of the loan period, the installments will consist of relatively smaller interest payments and relatively larger principal amount paymens.

i understand you use official definition and calculations. the problem is fixed rate is not really fixed as we know, in reality it variable rate with starting rate of 90%. this fact never mentioned and 90% interest create unequal positions.
