Formulas & Calculations
The template leverages several key Excel formulas to automate calculations:
=ROUND(([@[Principal Amount (USD)]] * [@ [Interest Rate (%)]] / 100) / 4, 2)
Used in each quarterly interest column: Calculates the expected quarterly interest based on annual rate and principal.
=IF(AND([@[Principal Amount (USD)]]=0, [@[Due Date (Quarterly)]]=""), "Paid", IF([@[Due Date (Quarterly)]]<TODAY(), "Overdue", "Active"))
Flags the status of each debt based on payment due date and outstanding balance.
=SUMIFS(InterestPaymentQ1, DebtID, [@Debt ID])
Used in Summary Dashboard to aggregate total quarterly interest costs.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Payments: If the due date is earlier than today and principal remains unpaid, the row turns red with bold text.
- Budget Variance Thresholds: Cells in variance columns turn yellow if variance exceeds ±5%, red if >±10%.
- Debt Type Color Coding: Each debt type has a distinct background color for quick visual identification.
