Formulas Required

PMT Function (Loan Calculator): Calculates monthly payments using the formula: =PMT(interest_rate/12, loan_term, -loan_amount)
Outstanding Balance: Uses a dynamic calculation based on scheduled payments and actual payment dates. Formula example: =IF(TODAY() >= Due_Date, Outstanding_Balance - Payment_Amount, Outstanding_Balance)
Status Logic: Conditional formula to auto-update status based on due dates and payment history: =IF(Outstanding_Balance = 0, "Paid Off", IF(TODAY() > Due_Date + 30, "In Arrears", "Active"))
Employee ID Validation: Uses VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH to cross-reference Employee Directory and prevent errors.

Conditional Formatting

Overdue Loans: Red background with bold text if payment is past due by 30+ days.
Pending Payments: Yellow highlight for payments due within the next 7 days.
Status Highlights: Green for "Paid Off", red for "Defaulted", blue for "Active".
