• Monthly Payment (using PMT function):
  =-PMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, TermMonths, PrincipalAmount)

  =PrincipalAmount - SUM(PrincipalColumnRange) (used in amortization table)
• Total Interest Paid to Date:
  =SUM(InterestColumnRange)
• Loan Status (in Summary Dashboard):
  =IF(RemainingBalance > 0, "Active", "Paid Off")
• Next Due Date:
  =EOMONTH(StartDate, PaymentNumber) (for auto-advance in amortization)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance usability and visual clarity for Office Management staff, the template includes the following conditional formatting:

• Overdue Payments: If a payment date is past today’s date and not marked as paid, highlight in red.
• High Interest Rate Loans (>6%): Apply yellow fill to rows with interest rates above 6% for quick review.
