I want to know how excel calculates financial functions like IPMT and PPMT.
any suggestions where to look at?

Thanks,
vicky
 
Hi Vicky!

No formulas are given in help but we can work the process out
reasonably easily.

PPMT:

This is the difference in balance of loan between the nth period and
the (n-1)period.
We find these balances by accumulating the repayments and the loan for
those two periods

A1: Loan
A2: Interest
A3: Term
A4: Period
B1: 100000
B2: 6%
B3: 10
B4: 1

E4:
=-(FV($B$2,B4,PMT($B$2,$B$3,$B$1,0,0),$B$1,0)-FV($B$2,B4-1,PMT($B$2,$B
$3,$B$1,0,0),$B$1,0))

IPMT

The part of the payment that isn't principal repayment is loan
repayment.
Thus we can deduct PPMT calculated above from the repayment to get
IPMT.

D4:
=PMT($B$2,$B$3,$B$1,0,0)-E4
Or combined into one formula:
=PMT($B$2,$B$3,$B$1,0,0)--(FV($B$2,B4,PMT($B$2,$B$3,$B$1,0,0),$B$1,0)-
FV($B$2,B4-1,PMT($B$2,$B$3,$B$1,0,0),$B$1,0))
You can change that -- to a plus if you like.

I've got a sheet that uses these two formulas and checks them out
against IPMT and PPMT and will send if you email the address below.
