User-friendliness: Excel is relatively user-friendly, so making an amortization schedule within the Excel program is fairly easy to do. Because of this, virtually anyone can create one of these schedules for their own business or personal financial purposes.
However, your lender may only give you your payment schedule, which, as we talked about before, doesn't break down how much of your payment goes towards principal, and how much goes toward interest. If an amortization schedule is not provided to you, you can ask them for one.
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.
You can ask your lender for an amortization schedule, but this might not be as helpful if you're looking to see how extra payments could impact that schedule.
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.
Example of Amortization In the first month, $75 of the $664.03 monthly payment goes to interest. The remaining $589.03 goes toward the principal. The total payment stays the same each month, while the portion going to principal increases and the portion going to interest decreases.
