Overview of the Template Structure

This Excel workbook is structured as a modular, startup-friendly loan calculator tailored to the unique financial dynamics of early-stage businesses. It features three primary worksheets that work in concert to streamline administrative tasks related to loan management and reporting.

Sheet 1: Loan Inputs & Summary

This sheet serves as the main control panel for users. It collects all essential loan parameters and displays a high-level summary of the financial obligations.

Total Interest Paid ($)	Numeric (Formula-Driven)	Automatically calculated using the PMT function.

Monthly Payment ($)	Numeric (Formula-Driven)	Calculated using Excel's PMT function based on selected payment frequency.

Formulas Required:

=TotalPayment * TermInYears - LoanAmount to compute total interest
=LoanAmount + TotalInterestPaid for total repayment amount.

Conditional Formatting:

Highlight cells in red if the annual interest rate exceeds 10% (indicating high-cost financing).
Green background for "Monthly Payment" when below $2,000 (suggesting manageable cash flow).
Yellow highlight for loans over $100,000 to flag significant financial commitments.

Sheet 2: Amortization Schedule

This sheet generates a detailed repayment schedule showing how each payment is split between principal and interest over time. This is vital for administrative support staff to audit financial records or prepare investor updates.
