Table Structure and Columns (Employee Loan Tracker)

The main sheet, "Employee Loan Tracker (Weekly)", contains a dynamic table with the following columns:

Formulas Required

The template uses several built-in Excel functions for accurate and automated calculations:

Weekly Deduction ($) = PMT(Interest_Rate/52, Repayment_Period_Weeks, -Loan_Amount)

Explanation: Converts annual interest rate to weekly and computes the fixed weekly payment using the PMT function.

Remaining Balance ($) = Previous_Balance - Weekly_Deduction

Applies iteratively for each week’s record, updating dynamically as new deductions are applied.

Status = IF(Remaining_Balance <= 0, "Paid Off", IF(Last_Updated < TODAY()-7, "Pending", "Active"))

Determines loan status based on balance and activity timeline.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance data readability and alert users to important statuses:

• Red font for rows where Remaining Balance ≤ $0 (paid off).
• Yellow highlight for loans with a status of "Pending" (no update in the last 7 days).
• Green highlight for all active loans with remaining balance above $50.
• Data bars applied to "Remaining Balance" column to visualize repayment progress.

Instructions for Users
