This loan amortization schedule calculator can be used for any loan up to a maximum term of 3,650 payment periods. The calculator will produce an amortization schedule setting out for each period, the opening balance, the amount of interest, the repayment, and the closing balance.
In addition, the calculator will also show the periodic repayments due on the loan together with the total amount repayable and total interest payable over the term. All payments are assumed to take place at the end of each period.
Loan Amortization Schedule Calculator Instructions
The Excel loan amortization schedule calculator is available for download below. The calculator produces an amortization schedule by entering details relating to the amount of the loan, interest rate and the number of periods.
Accordingly the loan calculator is used as follows:
Step 1
Firstly enter the amount of the loan (PV). This is the amount taken as a loan today, at the start of period 1.
Step 2
Next enter the interest rate (i). It is important to realize that the interest rate should be for a period. For example, if the payments are to be made monthly, then the rate should be the monthly rate.
A nominal annual rate is converted to a periodic rate by dividing by the number of periods in a year. For example, if the annual rate is 9%, then the monthly rate to enter is 9%/12 = 0.75%.
Step 3
Enter the number of periods (n). A period can be any term (month, year etc), but must be consistent with the interest rate provided (see step 2). For example, if the loan is to be repaid monthly for the next 10 years, then the number of periods is 120 months.
Step 4
Finally the loan amortization calculator works out the periodic payment (Pmt) required at the end of each of n periods to repay a loan amount (PV) at a periodic interest rate of i. Additionally it shows the total repayments and interest on the loan.
In addition, the calculator provides an amortization schedule setting out the opening balance, interest, payment, and closing balance for each period of the term.
