Formulas Required
- PMT Function (Monthly Payment):
=PMT(Interest_Rate/12, Loan_Term_Months, -Principal_Amount) - Interest Portion (Each Month):
=Remaining_Balance * (Annual_Rate / 12) - Principal Portion:
=Monthly_Payment - Interest_Portion - Outstanding Balance Update:
=Previous_Balance - Principal_Portion - Total Loan Value (Dashboard): Uses SUMIFS to total principal by status.
- Payment Status Flag (Late/On Time): =IF(Payment_Date > TODAY(), "Future", IF(Payment_Date < TODAY(), "Late", "On Time"))
