Key Excel functions (PMT, PPMT, IPMT) are used to calculate total payments, principal, and interest for each period in an amortization schedule.
The PMT function in Excel determines the total payment owed each period—inclusive of the interest and principal payment. The total payment, unlike the other two components, will remain constant over the entire borrowing term.
The compound interest is found using the formula: CI = P( 1 + r/n)nt - P. In this formula, P( 1 + r/n)nt represents the compounded amount. the initial investment P should be subtracted from the compounded amount to get the compound interest.
Fortunately, Excel can be used to create an amortization schedule. The amortization schedule template below can be used for a variable number of periods, as well as extra payments and variable interest rates.
Amortization and compound interest are two different ways to calculate interest. Amortization is usually for medium-term financings, such as auto loans. Compound interest is typically for much longer loans, like a 30-year mortgage (it's also possible to get an amortizing or simple interest mortgage).
