Sure. Assuming you want compound interest (which is what it looks like) you need to recalculate 'nextmonth' and update the principal for each iteration of the loop. You're doing neither.

My advice: Go back and get your old program working first. Then start on your new one.

I have tried what seems like 50 different things and nothing seems to be working. I know that I need to update the principal after each loop (on my original program)I just don't know how to do that.

This is really a great site and I hope that I can contribute more in the future...
