Table Structures and Columns (Loan Calculator – Core Calculations)
The primary table in the Loan Calculator – Core Calculations sheet is structured as a dynamic amortization schedule:
| Column | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| Payment # | Sequential number of each payment (1, 2, ..., n) | Numeric (Integer) |
| Due Date | Date when the payment is due (calculated using DATE function) | Date |
| Payment Amount | Total monthly installment (principal + interest) | Decimal (Currency, 2 decimal places) |
| Principal Payment | Portion of payment applied to the loan balance | Decimal (Currency, 2 decimal places) |
| Interest Payment | Interest accrued on remaining principal for the period | Decimal (Currency, 2 decimal places) |
| Remaining Balance | Outstanding loan balance after the payment is applied | Decimal (Currency, 2 decimal places) |
Formulas Required
The template leverages a combination of built-in Excel functions to ensure accuracy and audit compliance:
- PMT Function:
=PMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, TotalPayments, -LoanAmount)— calculates the fixed monthly payment. - IPMT Function:
=IPMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, PaymentPeriod, TotalPayments, -LoanAmount)— computes interest portion per period. - PPMT Function:
=PPMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, PaymentPeriod, TotalPayments, -LoanAmount)— calculates principal portion per period. - CUMIPMT Function:
=CUMIPMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, TotalPayments, LoanAmount, StartPeriod, EndPeriod, 0)— cumulative interest over specified periods (useful for audit verification). - CUMPRINC Function:
=CUMPRINC(AnnualInterestRate/12, TotalPayments, LoanAmount, StartPeriod, EndPeriod, 0)— cumulative principal paid. - IFERROR and ISBLANK: Wrap formulas to prevent errors on missing inputs and enhance user guidance.
Conditional Formatting
To support audit scrutiny and visual clarity, the template includes the following conditional formatting rules:
- Past Due Payments: Highlight in red if due date is earlier than today (using
=DueDate - Zero or Negative Balance: Flag with yellow background when remaining balance ≤ 0 to identify loan payoff.
- Critical Payment Thresholds: Light green for payments above the average monthly payment by more than 15% (for anomaly detection).
- Audit Flag Column: A hidden column with conditional formatting that highlights rows where changes were made in the Audit Trail Log.
