Accelerated biweekly schedule: biweekly payment derivation · case 03
Odd-cent monthly payments produce a biweekly payment a half cent short.
Case contract
x = {'principal', 'rate_bp', 'months'}. The monthly payment is the exact annuity rounded half-up; the biweekly payment is round_half_up(monthly/2), paid 26 times a year. Periodic interest is round_half_up(balance*bp/260000). When balance + interest <= payment the loan pays off with that amount. Return {'payment', 'periods', 'final_payment', 'total_interest'}.
Why this case matters
Amortization engines drive borrower statements, payoff quotes and investor remittances; a misplaced rounding step, boundary or ordering rule compounds across hundreds of periods.
