Sheet Names and Structure

The workbook contains four primary sheets:

2. Amortization Schedule: A detailed breakdown of each payment over the life of the loan.
3. Client Summary Report: A clean, professional summary page for client presentations with key metrics and visualizations.
4. Data Inputs & Assumptions: Where users can modify default values such as interest rate tiers, fee structures, or reporting periods.

Table Structures and Columns (Loan Calculator Sheet)

The primary table on the Loan Calculator sheet includes the following columns with appropriate data types:

Formulas Required

The template leverages a robust set of Excel formulas to ensure accurate and dynamic calculations:

• PMT Function: =PMT(Interest_Rate/12, Loan_Term_Months, -Loan_Amount) – Calculates monthly payment based on standard loan amortization.
• Total Interest: =Total_Repayment - Loan_Amount
• Total Repayment: =Monthly_Payment * Loan_Term_Months
• Effective Interest Rate (approximation): Uses XIRR function on the amortization schedule cash flows for precision.
• Loan ID Auto-Increment: Uses a formula like =IF(A2="","",MAX($A$1:$A1)+1) in column A to automatically generate sequential IDs.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance clarity and highlight key insights for client reporting, the template uses conditional formatting:

• High Monthly Payment Warning: If monthly payment exceeds 35% of a default income threshold (editable), cells turn red.
• Low Interest Rate Highlighting: Rates below 4% are shaded green for quick visual identification.
• Past Due Status (in Amortization Table): Payments with due dates in the past are highlighted in yellow to flag follow-up actions.
• Savings Opportunity Indicator: When a loan option shows 10%+ interest savings, a green arrow icon is displayed next to it.

All charts are linked dynamically to the data in other sheets. Users can customize colors, titles, and legend placement for branding purposes. The dashboard supports export to PDF or PowerPoint with one click (if macros are enabled).
