You probably want to add an OUTPUT statement to your loop.

 

https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=lestmtsref&docsetTarget=n1lltvbis7ye1an1eryo4leh2mck.htm&doc...

 

do i = 1 to 6;
balance=total_balance;
interest+(((balance*rate)/100)/365)*30;
bal_1=balance+Interest;
output;
end;

If you want multiple variables with the different months you may want an array instead.

 

Here's a tutorial on using Arrays in SAS
