Mortgage Payment Using Classes

TrevorD (19)
Hey, how's everyone doing today? Well I have this project due and I'm absolutely stuck on this. Basically, this program is designed to use classes to calculate monthly mortgage payments. What I'm confused about is the getFunctions to calculate the actual information. Here's what I've got so far:

Any criticism and help would be greatly appreciated seeing as this project is due tomorrow. Thanks again.

For the first 3 ones, variable names are case sensitive
For the other ones, you have to use '.' for the decimal part of a number, but the integer part must not be split by ',', or it is interpreted as 2 expressions

I edited what I had, It was quite a bit off. Could someone let me know how it looks now?

I agree with the term formula in comments, but i don't think you wrote it right. I won't tell you the answer, but look at it again.
TrevorD (19)
I'm not following, I thought the calculation was correct...

The only thing that I can't get to display is the Total Amount Owed to bank from my getTotalPay function. I'm not exactly sure what to pass it.
