The template uses essential Excel formulas to automate calculations:- Monthly Payment (Main Sheet):
=PMT(B2/12, B3, -B1)
Where:- B1 = Loan Amount (positive number)
- B2 = Annual Interest Rate (e.g., 5.5% or 0.055)
- B3 = Term in Months
- Principal & Interest Breakdown (Amortization Sheet):
-=PMT($B$2/12, $B$3, -$B$1)→ Monthly Payment
-=PPMT(B2/12, A2, B3, -B1)→ Principal portion per payment
-=IPMT(B2/12, A2, B3, -B1)→ Interest portion per payment - Remaining Balance (Amortization Sheet):
=IF(A2=1, B$1 - C2, F1 - C2)
Where B$1 is the original loan amount and F1 is the previous balance. - Summary Metrics (Quick Reference Sheet):
- Total Interest Paid:=SUM(Interest Column in Amortization Sheet)
- Total Repayment Amount:=Monthly Payment × Term in Months
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and highlight key information, the following rules are applied:- Highlight Monthly Payment: If the calculated monthly payment exceeds a user-defined threshold (e.g., $1,000), it is highlighted in red.
- Warn on High Interest Rates: If annual interest rate exceeds 15%, the cell turns yellow to flag potential risk.
