Which are the required parameters to run the calculator?

Sorry for the delayed response - the parameters to run the code are in the "if name==main:" section (see below) debt in dollars, interest rates in %, taxes in % net income etc.

If you have trouble finding ' import zach' just comment out that line and the 'zach.exportpdffigs' and instead use plt.show()

rate = {"cc":15.07, "student":6.8, "auto": 4.3}
studentloanpayment = loan_monthlypayment(debt['student'], 10, rate['student'])
autoloanpayment = loan_monthlypayment(debt['auto'], 5, rate['auto'])
