Key Formulas Required
- F2 (Monthly Payment):
=-PMT(B2/12, C2*12, A2)
This calculates the monthly payment amount using Excel’s PMT function. Divides annual rate by 12 and term by 12 for monthly periods. - G2 (Total Interest):
=F2 * (C2*12) - A2
Total payments minus principal gives total interest paid over life of loan. - H2 (Total Repayment):
=A2 + G2 - Auto-calculation on change: All dependent cells update instantly when inputs are changed, ensuring real-time accuracy—critical for administrative reporting.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and highlight important data points:- Monthly Payment (F2): Highlight in green if below $1,000; red if above $3,500.
- Total Interest (G2): Yellow fill for amounts over 15% of loan amount—flagging high-cost loans.
- Amortization Schedule: Conditional formatting applied to show:
- Cash flow trend: Red → Green gradient for payments (to visually represent declining principal).
