Table Structure and Column Definitions:

Sheet: Quarterly Payment Schedule

Data Types & Descriptions:

• Quarter: Text (e.g., Q1 2024, Q2 2024)
• Payment Date: Date type (automatically calculated based on loan start date and quarterly intervals)
• Principal Payment: Currency (USD), calculated using amortization formulas
• Interest Payment: Currency (USD), derived from remaining balance and periodic interest rate
• Total Payment: Currency (USD), sum of principal and interest payments per quarter
• Cumulative Principal Paid: Currency (USD), running total of principal paid so far
• Cumulative Interest Paid: Currency (USD), running total of interest paid to date
• Remaining Balance: Currency (USD), calculated as original principal minus cumulative principal payments

Required Formulas:

• Payment Date Calculation: Use the formula: =DATE(YEAR(Start_Date)+IF(MONTH(Start_Date)+3>12,1,0),MOD(MONTH(Start_Date)-1+3,12)+1,DAY(Start_Date)). This generates the next quarterly due date based on a starting date.
• Quarterly Interest Rate: =Annual_Interest_Rate/4
• Monthly Payment (for amortization): Use Excel’s PMT function: =PMT(Quarterly_Rate, Total_Payments, -Principal)
• Principal Payment: =Total_Payment - Interest_Payment
• Interest Payment: =Remaining_Balance * Quarterly_Rate
• Cumulative Principal Paid: Use a running SUM: =SUM($C$2:C2) (drag down)
• Remaining Balance: =Original_Principal - Cumulative_Principal_Paid

Conditional Formatting Rules:

• Past Due Payments: If Payment Date is earlier than today, highlight the row in red.
• High Interest Burden: Highlight any quarter with interest payment exceeding 40% of total payment in yellow.
• Payment Variance: In the Payment History sheet, compare actual vs. projected payments using conditional formatting to show overpayments (green) or underpayments (red).
• Balances Below Threshold: Highlight remaining balances below $10,000 in orange to signal nearing loan payoff.

User Instructions:

1. Navigate to the Loan Details & Assumptions sheet.
2. Enter the original loan amount (e.g., $150,000), annual interest rate (e.g., 5.5%), and total term in years (e.g., 4).
