# Loan Amount Calculation & Amortization Schedule Fix

## Problem Identified

There were discrepancies between loan amounts displayed on different pages:
1. **Processing Fee Calculation**: The display method was calculating processing fees incorrectly, not accounting for loan duration (months) and product type
2. **Amortization Schedule Payment Dates**: Payment dates were starting immediately from disbursement date instead of the first payment period
3. **Inconsistent Numbers**: Some calculations appeared to use a 7% processing fee when it should match the loan product settings

### Examples of Issues:
- A loan with 5% processing fee for 3 months was showing 5% instead of 15% (for Boost Plus)
- Weekly loans showed first payment due on disbursement date instead of 7 days later
- Monthly loans showed first payment due on disbursement date instead of 30 days later
- Reports and amortization pages showed different totals than loan detail pages

## Root Cause Analysis

### 1. Processing Fee Calculation Issue

**Location**: `loans/models.py` - `get_display_processing_fee_amount()` method (Line 756)

**Problem**:
```python
def get_display_processing_fee_amount(self):
    """Calculate processing fee using current system rate for display"""
    from decimal import Decimal
    current_rate = self.get_display_processing_fee_rate()
    return self.principal_amount * (Decimal(str(current_rate)) / Decimal('100'))
```

This method was calculating processing fee as a simple percentage without considering:
- **Duration/Months**: Processing fees should be multiplied by the number of months
- **Product Type**: Boost Plus products charge processing fees monthly, while other products charge one-time

**Correct Calculation** (from `LoanProduct.calculate_processing_fee()`):
```python
def calculate_processing_fee(self, amount, months=1):
    """Calculate processing fee for given amount and duration"""
    fee_rate = Decimal(str(self.get_processing_fee())) / Decimal('100')
    base_fee = Decimal(str(amount)) * fee_rate
    
    # For Boost Plus, processing fee is charged monthly like interest
    if self.product_type == 'boost_plus':
        return base_fee * Decimal(str(months))
    
    # For other products, processing fee is one-time
    return base_fee
```

### 2. Amortization Schedule Payment Date Issue

**Location**: `loans/models.py` - `get_amortization_schedule()` method (Line 862)

**Problem**:
```python
for payment_num in range(1, num_payments + 1):
    if repayment_method == 'daily':
        payment_date = current_date + timedelta(days=payment_num - 1)  # WRONG!
    elif repayment_method == 'weekly':
        payment_date = current_date + timedelta(weeks=payment_num - 1)  # WRONG!
    else:  # monthly
        month = current_date.month + (payment_num - 1)  # WRONG!
```

This was calculating payment dates starting from `payment_num - 1`, which meant:
- First payment (payment_num=1) was due on disbursement date (0 days/weeks/months later)
- This is incorrect - payments should start AFTER the first period

**Correct Logic**:
- Daily loans: First payment due 1 day after disbursement
- Weekly loans: First payment due 7 days (1 week) after disbursement
- Monthly loans: First payment due 30 days (1 month) after disbursement

### 3. RepaymentScheduler Issues

**Location**: `loans/repayment_scheduler.py`

Similar issues in:
- `generate_payment_schedule()` (Line 56)
- `calculate_arrears_amount()` (Line 92)
- `get_missed_payment_periods()` (Line 121)

## Solution Implemented

### 1. Fixed Processing Fee Calculation

**File**: `loans/models.py` - Line 756

```python
def get_display_processing_fee_amount(self):
    """Calculate processing fee using current system rate for display"""
    from decimal import Decimal
    current_rate = self.get_display_processing_fee_rate()
    months = max(1, self.duration_days / 30)
    
    # Calculate base processing fee
    base_fee = self.principal_amount * (Decimal(str(current_rate)) / Decimal('100'))
    
    # For Boost Plus, processing fee is charged monthly like interest
    if self.application.loan_product.product_type == 'boost_plus':
        return base_fee * Decimal(str(months))
    
    # For other products, processing fee is one-time
    return base_fee
```

**Changes**:
- ✅ Added calculation of months from duration_days
- ✅ Added product type check for Boost Plus
- ✅ Multiply base fee by months for Boost Plus products
- ✅ Return one-time fee for other products

### 2. Fixed Amortization Schedule Payment Dates

**File**: `loans/models.py` - Line 907

```python
for payment_num in range(1, num_payments + 1):
    # Calculate payment date - start from NEXT period, not disbursement date
    if repayment_method == 'daily':
        payment_date = current_date + timedelta(days=payment_num)
    elif repayment_method == 'weekly':
        payment_date = current_date + timedelta(weeks=payment_num)
    else:  # monthly
        # Add months properly - start from next month
        year = current_date.year
        month = current_date.month + payment_num
        while month > 12:
            month -= 12
            year += 1
        # Get the last day of the month if the original day doesn't exist
        last_day = calendar.monthrange(year, month)[1]
        day = min(current_date.day, last_day)
        payment_date = datetime(year, month, day, current_date.hour, current_date.minute, current_date.second)
```

**Changes**:
- ✅ Changed from `payment_num - 1` to `payment_num` for all repayment methods
- ✅ First payment now correctly starts after one period
- ✅ Monthly calculation properly handles month overflow and day validation

### 3. Fixed RepaymentScheduler

**File**: `loans/repayment_scheduler.py`

#### A. Fixed `generate_payment_schedule()` (Line 66)
```python
for period in range(total_periods):
    # Start from first payment period (period + 1), not disbursement date
    due_date = current_date + timedelta(days=(period + 1) * period_days)
```

#### B. Fixed `calculate_arrears_amount()` (Line 102)
```python
# Calculate how many payment periods have passed
# First payment is due after one period, not immediately
days_since_disbursement = (date.today() - disbursement_date).days

# If we haven't reached the first payment date yet, no arrears
if days_since_disbursement < period_days:
    return Decimal('0.00')

# Calculate periods that are actually due (not including current period if not complete)
periods_passed = days_since_disbursement // period_days
```

#### C. Fixed `get_missed_payment_periods()` (Line 138)
```python
for period in range(1, periods_passed + 1):
    # First payment is due after one period, not on disbursement date
    due_date = disbursement_date + timedelta(days=period * period_days)
```

## Impact & Benefits

## Testing Recommendations

### 1. Test Processing Fee Calculations

**Test Case 1: Boost Plus Loan**
```python
# Create a Boost Plus loan for 3 months
loan_product = LoanProduct.objects.get(product_type='boost_plus')
loan_product.processing_fee = 5.0

loan = Loan.objects.create(
    principal_amount=10000,
    duration_days=90,
    application__loan_product=loan_product
)

# Verify processing fee
assert loan.get_display_processing_fee_amount() == Decimal('1500.00')  # 10000 × 5% × 3
```

**Test Case 2: Standard Loan**
```python
# Create a standard loan for 3 months
loan_product = LoanProduct.objects.get(product_type='standard')
loan_product.processing_fee = 5.0

loan = Loan.objects.create(
    principal_amount=10000,
    duration_days=90,
    application__loan_product=loan_product
)

# Verify processing fee
assert loan.get_display_processing_fee_amount() == Decimal('500.00')  # 10000 × 5%
```

### 2. Test Amortization Schedule Payment Dates

**Test Case 1: Weekly Loan**
```python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

loan = Loan.objects.create(
    disbursement_date=datetime(2025, 1, 1),
    duration_days=28,
    application__repayment_method='weekly'
)

schedule = loan.get_amortization_schedule()

# First payment should be 7 days after disbursement
assert schedule[0]['payment_date'].date() == datetime(2025, 1, 8).date()
assert schedule[1]['payment_date'].date() == datetime(2025, 1, 15).date()
assert schedule[2]['payment_date'].date() == datetime(2025, 1, 22).date()
assert schedule[3]['payment_date'].date() == datetime(2025, 1, 29).date()
```

**Test Case 2: Monthly Loan**
```python
loan = Loan.objects.create(
    disbursement_date=datetime(2025, 1, 15),
    duration_days=90,
    application__repayment_method='monthly'
)

schedule = loan.get_amortization_schedule()

# First payment should be 1 month after disbursement
assert schedule[0]['payment_date'].date() == datetime(2025, 2, 15).date()
assert schedule[1]['payment_date'].date() == datetime(2025, 3, 15).date()
assert schedule[2]['payment_date'].date() == datetime(2025, 4, 15).date()
```

### 3. Test Arrears Calculation

**Test Case: No Arrears Before First Payment**
```python
from datetime import date, timedelta

# Create loan disbursed today
loan = Loan.objects.create(
    disbursement_date=date.today(),
    duration_days=30,
    application__repayment_method='monthly'
)

# No arrears should exist before first payment is due
arrears = loan.get_arrears_summary()
assert arrears['total_arrears'] == Decimal('0.00')
```

### 4. Verify Consistency Across Pages

1. **Loan Detail Page** (`/loans/{loan_id}/`)
   - Check principal amount
   - Check interest amount
   - Check processing fee amount
   - Check total amount

2. **Amortization Page** (`/loans/{loan_id}/amortization/`)
   - Verify total principal matches loan detail
   - Verify total interest matches loan detail
   - Verify total processing fee matches loan detail
   - Verify total amount matches loan detail
   - Verify first payment date is after disbursement

3. **Reports Page**
   - Verify loan totals match loan detail page
   - Verify processing fees are calculated correctly

## Files Modified

1. **loans/models.py**
   - `get_display_processing_fee_amount()` method (Line 756-770)
   - `get_amortization_schedule()` method (Line 907-923)
