Table Structures and Column Definitions

Sheet 1: Loan Inputs & Assumptions (User Entry Point)

This sheet serves as the primary input panel where users define loan parameters and business assumptions. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | A | Text/Label | Parameter Name (e.g., "Loan Amount", "Annual Interest Rate", "Term in Years") | | B | Numeric/Formula-Driven (with validation) | Value Input Field with dropdowns or sliders for select items (e.g., Loan Type: Fixed, Variable, Adjustable) | | C | Text/Comment | Description of the parameter and its impact on KPIs |

Validations applied: Interest Rate must be between 0% and 20%, Term in Years must be between 1–30.
Dynamic dropdowns for Loan Type, Currency, and Payment Frequency (Monthly, Bi-weekly).

Sheet 2: Loan Schedule (Amortization)

This table calculates the loan amortization schedule on a monthly basis. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | A | Date (Serial) | Payment Due Date (calculated using EDATE or DATE functions) | | B | Numeric (Currency) | Opening Balance (initial loan amount, then previous closing balance) | | C | Numeric (Currency) | Payment Amount (computed using PMT function based on inputs) | | D | Numeric (Currency, % of Pmt.) | Interest Portion [IPMT function] | | E | Numeric (Currency, % of Pmt.) | Principal Portion [PPMT function] | | F | Numeric (Currency) | Closing Balance (Opening + Interest – Payment) |

Auto-calculated rows based on term length.
Dynamic updates when inputs in Sheet 1 change.

Sheet 3: KPI Dashboard (Planning View)

This is the central visual and analytical hub of the template. It displays real-time KPIs derived from amortization data. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | A | Text (KPI Name) | e.g., "Total Interest Paid", "Effective Interest Rate", "Loan-to-Value Ratio" | | B | Numeric/Formula-Driven (Calculated) | Value displayed as a number or percentage | | C | Status Indicator (Text/Icon) | “On Track”, “At Risk”, “Over Budget” using conditional formatting | | D | Trend Indicator (Arrow or Color) | Up, Down, Stable icons based on comparison to previous period |

Real-time updates from amortization data.
Includes both static KPIs and trend-based indicators.

Sheet 4: Scenario Comparison Table

Allows side-by-side analysis of multiple loan scenarios. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | A | Text (Scenario Name) | e.g., "Base Case", "High Interest", "Shorter Term" | | B to G | Numeric/Formula-Driven (KPIs) | Each column represents a KPI from Sheet 3 (e.g., Total Interest, Monthly Payment, Payoff Date) | | H | Status (Color-coded) | Highlights optimal or risk-prone scenarios |

Formulas Required

PMT Function: =PMT(Interest_Rate/12, Term_Months, -Loan_Amount) in Sheet 2 to calculate monthly payment.
IPMT & PPMT Functions: Used to split payments into interest and principal.
EDATE Function: For generating future due dates: =EDATE(Start_Date, Month_Number).
SUMIFS / SUMPRODUCT: To compute total interest paid across all periods in the amortization schedule.
INDEX-MATCH or XLOOKUP: For pulling KPIs from amortization data into dashboards.
DATEDIF Function: Calculates term duration in years/months for clarity.

Conditional Formatting Rules

In Loan Schedule (Sheet 2): Highlight negative balances in red, due dates that are past due with bold text and red fill.
In KPI Dashboard (Sheet 3): Apply color scales: green for “On Track”, yellow for “Warning”, red for “At Risk”.
In Scenario Table (Sheet 4): Use data bars and icon sets to compare values across scenarios; apply red/green arrows based on performance trends.

User Instructions
