MAIN:
Java
package loantable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class LoanTable
{
    private double loanAmount;
    private double loanLength;
    private double lowInterest;
    private double highInterest;
    private int count;
    ArrayList<Double> payments = new ArrayList<>();
    public LoanTable(double loanAmount, double loanLength, double lowInterest, double highInterest)
    {
        this.loanAmount = loanAmount;
        this.loanLength = loanLength;
        this.lowInterest = lowInterest;
        this.highInterest = highInterest;
    }
    public ArrayList getInterestRates()
    {
        count = -1;
        while(lowInterest <= highInterest)
        {
            double monthlyInterest = lowInterest / 12.0;
            double length = loanLength * 12;
            double c = Math.pow((1 + monthlyInterest), length);
            double monthlyPayment = (loanAmount * monthlyInterest * c)/ (c - 1);
            payments.add(monthlyPayment);
            lowInterest += .25;
            count++;
        }
        return payments;
    }
    public String to()
    {
        String theory = "";
        double currentInterest = highInterest;
        ArrayList<Double> t = new ArrayList<>();
        t = getInterestRates();
        while(count >= 0)
        {
            theory = theory + "\n" + "Interest Rate: " + currentInterest + " Monthly Payment: " +  t.get(count);
            count--;
            currentInterest -= .25;
        }
        return theory;
    }
}


TESTER:
Java
package loantable;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LoanTableTester 
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Principal: ");
        double loanAmount = sc.nextDouble();
        System.out.print("\nTime: ");
        double time = sc.nextDouble();
        System.out.println("\nLow Rate: ");
        double lowRate = sc.nextDouble();
        System.out.println("\nHigh Rate: ");
        double highRate = sc.nextDouble();
        LoanTable t = new LoanTable(loanAmount, time, lowRate, highRate);
        System.out.println(t.to());
    }
}

CONSOLE:
Principal: 100000
Time: 30
Low Rate: 
11
High Rate: 
12
Interest Rate: 12.0 Monthly Payment: 100000.0
Interest Rate: 11.75 Monthly Payment: 97916.66666666666
Interest Rate: 11.5 Monthly Payment: 95833.33333333334
Interest Rate: 11.25 Monthly Payment: 93750.0
Interest Rate: 11.0 Monthly Payment: 91666.66666666664


CORRECT ANSWER:
Principal = $100000.00

Time = 30 years

Low rate = 11%

High rate = 12%

 11.00 952.32

 11.25 971.26

 11.50 990.29

 11.75 1009.41

 12.00 1028.61


FORMULA:
The formula for determining payments is:
(p * k * c)/ (c - 1)

p = principal, amount borrowed

k = monthly interest rate (annual rate/12.0)

n = number of monthly payments (years * 12)

c = (1 + k)^n

a = monthly payment (interest and principal paid)


I have tried everything I can think of, not sure what is causing this logic issue! Please help, any tips or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Use your debugger to step through the code and see exactly what the various values are at each step.
