Required Formulas

KPI Tracker:
- =B2-C2 → Net Profit (Revenue minus Expenses)
- =IF(B2=0, C2, B2-C2) → Burn Rate (if revenue = 0, burn rate = expenses; else net outflow)
- =E2/F2 → CAC:LTV Ratio (with error handling: =IF(F2=0,"N/A",E2/F2))
Loan Calculator:
- =PMT(B5/12, B6, -B4) → Monthly Payment (using Excel's PMT function for fixed payments)
- =B7*B6-B4 → Total Interest Paid
Amortization Schedule:
- =DATE(YEAR($B$2), MONTH($B$2)+A2, DAY($B$2)) → Payment Date (assuming start date in B2)
- =IF(A2=1, $B$4, D3 - C3) → Remaining Balance (for first payment = loan amount; later = previous balance minus principal)
- =D2 * ($B$5/12) → Interest Portion
- =C2 - E2 → Principal Portion
Dashboard:
- =AVERAGE('KPI Tracker'!E:E) → Average Burn Rate (for trend tracking)
- =MAX('KPI Tracker'!B:B) → Peak Revenue
- =COUNTIF('KPI Tracker'!F:F, ">1") → Count of months with CAC:LTV > 1.0 (warning threshold)

Conditional Formatting Rules

KPI Tracker:
- Green: Net Profit > $0 (positive values)
- Red: Burn Rate > $15,000/month (threshold customizable)
- Yellow: CAC:LTV Ratio ≥ 1.2
Amortization Schedule:
- Highlight the final payment row in blue to emphasize loan payoff.
- Show Remaining Balance turning red when below $1,000 (indicating nearing completion).
Dashboard:
- Red icon set: if burn rate is increasing month-over-month.
- Green trend arrows: if revenue shows a positive growth pattern.
