Key Excel functions (PMT, PPMT, IPMT) are used to calculate total payments, principal, and interest for each period in an amortization schedule.
Use the PMT function in Excel to create the formula: PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type). 1 This formula lets you calculate monthly payments when you divide the annual interest rate by 12, for the number of months in a year.

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.
And all of this is going to be divided. By 1 minus one plus r over n raised to the negative NT.MoreAnd all of this is going to be divided. By 1 minus one plus r over n raised to the negative NT.
=PMT(1.5%/12,312,0,8500) The rate argument is 1.5% divided by 12, the number of months in a year. The NPER argument is 312 for twelve monthly payments over three years. The PV (present value) is 0 because the account is starting from zero.
