    Hi,

    It’s a time value of money calculation whereby at the end of 25 years of principal and interest repayments, the amount of the loan outstanding is $0.

    Use these variables in the Excel PMT function and you should come to an answer of $62.82

    N= 1300 (25 years * 52 repayments per aunnum)
    PV= 35,200
    R/i = 0.15481% (8.05% / 52)
    First payment at beginning

    Cheers,

    Steve McKnight

    shaepower, the PMT function works out your payments, both P&I for you.

    In excel, click on Insert, Function, and choose PMT. It then steps you through the variables reasonably easily.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Microsoft Excel… spreadsheet package.

    Use Mel’s advice about how to use it.

    It can be a bit tricky, but persevere and see where it gets you.

    Bye,

    Steve McKnight
