• Client Overview Dashboard: The central hub of the template, presenting key loan metrics in graphical form. It includes charts, summary KPIs, and interactive filters to customize reporting views.
• Loan Details: A structured table that stores all individual client loan information with detailed fields such as loan amount, interest rate, term length, payment schedule, and status.
• Amortization Schedule: A dynamic table that calculates and displays monthly payments, principal reduction, interest charges, and remaining balance over the life of each loan.
• Client Master Data: Contains client contact information, account numbers, relationship manager details—used to enrich reporting with contextual data.
• Data Validation & Inputs: A secure input sheet where users enter or update loan parameters such as interest rates, fees, and payment frequency. This sheet drives all calculations across the workbook.

1. Loan Details Table (Sheet: Loan Details)

This table serves as the primary database for all client loan records and includes:

• Client ID (Text, Unique Identifier): e.g., CLT-2024-1058
• Client Name (Text): Full name or business name of the borrower.
• Loan Amount (Currency – $): Principal amount borrowed.
• Interest Rate (%): Annual nominal interest rate.
• Loan Term (Months): Duration of the loan in months.
• Purpose of Loan (Text/Category): e.g., Business Expansion, Personal Use, Equipment Financing.
• Start Date (Date): First disbursement date.
• End Date (Calculated): Derived from Start Date + Term in Months.
• Status (Text/Conditional): e.g., Active, Delinquent, Paid Off, In Arrears.
• Monthly Payment (Calculated – $): Based on loan amount, rate, and term using the PMT function.

2. Amortization Schedule Table (Sheet: Amortization Schedule)

This table breaks down each payment over time:

• Payment # (Integer): Sequential number of the monthly installment.
• Date (Date): Due date for that payment.
• Payment Amount ($): Fixed monthly payment calculated using PMT formula.
• Principal Portion ($): Part of the payment reducing the outstanding loan balance.
• Interest Portion ($): Interest charged on the remaining principal.
• Remaining Balance ($): Balance after applying the current payment.

3. Client Master Data Table (Sheet: Client Master Data)

This table links client identity with reporting data:

• Client ID (Text): Must match Loan Details.
• Contact Email (Text/Email Format): For automated reporting notifications.
• Phone Number (Text – Formatted): e.g., +1-555-123-4567
• Relationship Manager (Text): Name of the assigned officer.
• Account Type (Dropdown): e.g., Personal, Small Business, Corporate.

Data Types Summary:

All columns use appropriate data types: Text, Currency ($), Date, Integer. This ensures clean filtering and charting capabilities.

• Monthly Payment (Loan Details): =PMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, LoanTerm, -LoanAmount)
• End Date (Loan Details): =EDATE(StartDate, LoanTerm)
• Principal Portion (Amortization): =PPMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, Payment#, LoanTerm, -LoanAmount)
• Interest Portion (Amortization): =IPMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, Payment#, LoanTerm, -LoanAmount)
• Remaining Balance (Amortization): =IF(Payment# = 1, LoanAmount - PrincipalPortion1, PreviousBalance - PrincipalPortion)
• Status (Conditional Logic): =IF(TODAY() > EndDate + 30, "Delinquent", IF(TODAY() > EndDate, "In Arrears", "Active"))
• Summary KPIs (Dashboard): Use of SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and AVERAGE functions to dynamically summarize data based on filters.

• Status Column (Loan Details): Color-coded: Green for "Active", Yellow for "In Arrears", Red for "Delinquent".
• Remaining Balance (Amortization): Highlight values less than $100 in bold red to flag nearing payoff.
• Interest Portion (Amortization): Apply a gradient scale: darker shade for higher interest, lighter for lower.
• Dates near due: Use "Highlight Cells Rules" to color dates within 7 days of being overdue in red.
