- Detailed Payment Schedule Table (Middle Section): A dynamic amortization schedule showing each monthly payment breakdown across principal and interest over time.
- Logistics Impact Summary Table (Bottom Section): Links loan data to logistics KPIs, such as delivery capacity increase, fuel savings, or route optimization gains.

| Lifetime Benefit ($)(E35) | Formula Result | Total value over loan term, e.g., C35 × D35 × 12 × Term. | |
| ROI (%) (F35) | Percentage | Earned from formula: (E35 / A2) * 100. |
Formulas Required
- B6:
=A4 * IF(A5="Monthly",12,IF(A5="Quarterly",4,1))→ Total number of payments. - A7:
=PMT(A3/IF(A5="Monthly",12,IF(A5="Quarterly",4,1)), B6, -A2)→ Monthly payment using Excel's PMT function. - B10:
=EDATE($B$9, ROW()-ROW($B$10))→ Assumes $B$9 contains the start date. - D10:
=C10 - E10→ Principal portion of payment. - E10:
=IF(ROW()-ROW($E$10)=2, A2 * (A3/IF(A5="Monthly",12,4)), IF(ROW()-ROW($E$10)>2, $F9 * (A3/IF(A5="Monthly",12,4)), 0))→ Interest calculated on remaining balance. - E35:
=C35 * D35 * B6 / IF(A5="Monthly",12,IF(A5="Quarterly",4,1))→ Lifetime benefit in dollars. - F35:
=E35 / A2→ Return on Investment as percentage.
Conditional Formatting
- Negative ROI or Cost Impact: If F35 or D35 is negative, cells turn red with bold text to signal a financial loss.
- Monthly Payment vs. Budget: If A7 exceeds a predefined budget value (e.g., $5,000), the cell turns amber for alerting.
- Aging in Amortization Table: Past due dates in B10:B30 are highlighted in light gray if they precede today's date.
- ROI Heatmap: F35 values above 25% are shaded green; below 10%, yellow; below 0%, red.
