EMI CALCULATOR IN EXCEL

 

Now a days Excel is very popular and frequently people use it for calculations.  People who are familiar with EXCEL can use.  PMT formula is used to know the EMI.  IPMT is used to know the interest portion in the EMI of a particular instalment.  Similarly, PPMT is used to know the principal component in the EMI of a particular installment.  We give below the details as to how to use PMT formula in excel. 

Syntax PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv,type) For a more complete description of the arguments in PMT, see the PV function. Rate   is the interest rate for the loan. Nper   is the total number of payments for the loan. Pv   is the present value, or the total amount that a series of future payments is worth now; also known as the principal. Fv   is the future value, or a cash balance you want to attain after the last payment is made. If fv is omitted, it is assumed to be 0 (zero), that is, the future value of a loan is 0. Type   is the number 0 (zero) or 1 and indicates when payments are due. Set type equal to If payments are due 0 or omitted At the end of the period 1 At the beginning of the period Example 1 The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.

The number of years the money is paid out is multiplied by 12 to get the number of payments. Remarks The payment returned by PMT includes principal and interest but no taxes, reserve payments, or fees sometimes associated with loans. Make sure that you are consistent about the units you use for specifying rate and nper. If you make monthly payments on a four-year loan at an annual interest rate of 12 percent, use 12%/12 for rate and 4*12 for nper. If you make annual payments on the same loan, use 12 percent for rate and 4 for nper. Tip  To find the total amount paid over the duration of the loan, multiply the returned PMT value by nper.
