# What's the Best Way to Track Installment Payments for Property Buyers?

The best way is to record every installment against the buyer's contract, update its status when payment is confirmed, and let the balance be calculated automatically. On **Jestor**, this runs through a contracts **table** with installment records and calculated balance fields.

Buyers want to know how much they have paid and what remains. Teams need to answer quickly, without searching through bank records and old emails. A clear contract-level view also helps the sales and finance teams work from the same facts, which reduces internal back-and-forth about what each buyer owes.

## What manual balances cost

- Balances recalculated by hand for each question
- Differences between the buyer's records and yours
- Late payments with no clear history
- Time lost preparing statements
- Sales and finance teams working from different numbers

## How installment balance tracking works

- Each installment is a **record** linked to the contract
- Status changes when payment is confirmed
- A formula calculates paid amount and remaining balance
- A statement can be generated for the buyer at any time
- Overdue installments are listed by buyer and by number of days late

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Balances are always current
- Statements are produced without manual work
- Reminders reduce late payments
- This scales from a few contracts to hundreds
