Formulas Required (Loan Calculator Sheet)

All calculation fields are driven by dynamic formulas using Excel's built-in financial functions:

Monthly Payment: =-PMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, LoanTerm*12, LoanAmount) (for monthly payments). Adjust denominator based on payment frequency.
Total Interest Paid: = (MonthlyPayment * TotalPayments) - LoanAmount
Total Repayment: = LoanAmount + TotalInterestPaid
Interest Rate Category: =IF(AnnualInterestRate <= 4, "Low", IF(AnnualInterestRate <= 8, "Medium", "High"))

Conditional Formatting (Loan Calculator Sheet)

To enhance readability and highlight financial risk levels:

Interest Rate Category: Green fill for “Low”, yellow for “Medium”, red for “High”.
Total Interest Paid: If exceeds 30% of Loan Amount, apply red font and bold.
Monthly Payment: If exceeds 15% of average monthly office operating budget (set in Dashboard), highlight in orange.
