FORMULAS REQUIRED
- Monthly Payment Calculation (in Loan Calculator sheet):
=PMT(Interest_Rate/12, Loan_Term*12, -Loan_Amount)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment using Excel’s PMT function. - First Payment Date (in Loan Schedule):
=DATE(YEAR(Start_Date), MONTH(Start_Date)+1, DAY(Start_Date))
Adjusts based on frequency; for biweekly or weekly, use additional logic. - Principal & Interest Calculation (in Loan Schedule):
=PPMT(Rate/12, Payment_Number, Total_Payments, -Loan_Amount)
Calculates principal portion of the payment.
=IPMT(Rate/12, Payment_Number, Total_Payments, -Loan_Amount)
Calculates interest portion. - Remaining Balance:
=Previous_Balance - Principal_Payment
Automatically updates each row based on prior balance.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

- Green background for final payment: The last row in the amortization table is highlighted to identify payoff.
