|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | =EDATE(B5,1) | =B6 | =C2-PMT(Interest/12, Loan Term, Loan Amount)*D3+Interest Portion | =B6 - D3 (Calculated via PMT) | =B2-D3 (Initial balance minus principal paid) |
| 2 | =EDATE(B5,2) | =B6 | Formula based on prior period's remaining balance | Interest = Remaining Balance × (Rate/12) | =Previous Balance - Principal Paid |
Formulas Required
The template leverages advanced Excel functions for dynamic calculation and reporting:
- PMT(): Calculates monthly loan payment using interest rate, term, and principal.
- IPMT(): Extracts interest portion of each payment in amortization schedule.
- PPMT(): Calculates principal portion per period for precise amortization.
- CUMPRINC() and CUMIPMT(): For cumulative principal and interest over time periods (useful for reports).
- EDATE(start_date, months): Generates payment dates sequentially.
- VLOOKUP() / XLOOKUP(): Used in Scenario Comparison sheet to pull data from multiple models.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and alert users to key financial thresholds, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- Amortization Table: Highlight rows where interest exceeds 50% of the payment (red text).
- Growth Forecasting Sheet: Color-code revenue growth rates: green for >10%, yellow for 5–10%, red for <5%.
- Executive Summary: Conditional formatting on KPIs—red if debt service ratio exceeds 35% of projected EBITDA.
- Loan Calculator: Highlight input fields with invalid values (e.g., negative interest rate) using data validation.
