Editable Excel Template: Compliance Tracking & Loan Calculator

This comprehensive, fully editable Excel template is designed to merge the functionalities of a Loan Calculator with robust Compliance Tracking

Sheet Structure

• 1. Loan Calculator: Main interface for calculating loan parameters such as monthly payments, interest rates, amortization schedules, and total repayment amounts.
• 2. Compliance Tracker: Central dashboard to log and monitor compliance status across various regulatory requirements tied to each loan.
• 3. Loan History & Audit Log: A chronological record of all loans processed, including changes made, date of review, and responsible personnel.
• 4. Regulatory Guidelines Reference: A reference table containing detailed regulatory thresholds (e.g., DTI limits, loan-to-value caps), which are automatically referenced in the compliance tracker.
• 5. Dashboard & Summary Reports: Interactive charts and KPIs summarizing compliance rates, loan volume, delinquency trends, and risk exposure.

Table Structures and Data Types

Sheet: Loan Calculator

Sheet: Compliance Tracker

All data types are clearly defined: Text (e.g., Loan ID, Officer Name), Currency ($), Date (for review dates), and Percentage (%). The template uses structured tables to ensure consistent formatting and ease of filtering.

Formulas Used

• =PMT(rate, nper, pv): Calculates monthly payment in the Loan Calculator sheet.
• =IF(condition, "Yes", "No"): Automates compliance status based on threshold comparisons.
• =E2/B2*100: Computes debt-to-income (DTI) ratio dynamically from inputs in other sheets.
• INDEX(MATCH()): Used to pull regulatory thresholds from the Reference Sheet into the Compliance Tracker.
• COUNTIF(ComplianceTracker[Status], "No"): Totals non-compliant loans for dashboard KPIs.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Cells in the “Compliance Status” column are highlighted in red (No), green (Yes).
• Loan amounts above $100,000 are flagged with a yellow background for review.
• In the Dashboard, any compliance rate below 95% triggers an orange warning in the KPI cell.

User Instructions

1. Open the template in Microsoft Excel (version 2016 or later).
2. Navigate to the Loan Calculator sheet and enter loan details. The monthly payment will calculate automatically.
3. Use the dropdown list in the "Loan ID" column to link each loan to its compliance record (auto-filled via table relationships).
4. In the Compliance Tracker, ensure all thresholds are up-to-date by referencing the Regulatory Guidelines Reference sheet.
5. Manually input actual values where needed or use formulas to pull from Loan Calculator for auto-validation.
