This function returns the amount of payment of principal for a loan given the present value, specified interest rate, and number of terms.
PPMT(rate,per,nper,pval,fval,type)
This function has these arguments:
Argument | Description |
---|---|
rate | Value of interest rate per period. |
per | Number of the period for which to find the interest, between 1 and nper |
nper | Total number of payment periods in an annuity. |
pval | Present value, worth now |
fval | [Optional] Future value, cash value after the last payment; if omitted, the calculation uses zero |
type | [Optional] Indicates when payments are due; at the end (0) or beginning (1) of the period; if omitted, the calculation uses the end (0) |
Be sure to express the interest rate as per annum. For example, if the interest rate is 8 percent, use 8 for the rate argument.
The result is represented by a negative number because it is money paid out by you.
See the PV function for the equation for calculating financial values.
Accepts numeric data for all arguments. Returns numeric data.
