The formula to be used will be =IPMT( 5%/12, 1, 60, 50000). In the example above: As the payments are made monthly, it was necessary to convert the annual interest rate of 5% into a monthly rate (=5%/12), and the number of periods from years to months (=512).
Even a single extra payment made each year can reduce the amount of interest and shorten the amortization, as long as the payment goes toward the principal and not the 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.
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.
How to create an Excel sheet to track payments Open a new Excel spreadsheet. Create column headings for the following information. Enter the payment information into the spreadsheet. Use formulas to calculate the total amount of payments received and the total amount of outstanding payments.
