Financial
Functions : - The
financial function lets you to calculate the financial transactions. In excel there are different
types of financial functions which are given below:
PMT ( )
Calculates the payment for a loan based on constant
payments and a constant interest rate.
Syntax
PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv,type)
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
|
Examples
The following formula returns the monthly payment on
a $10,000 loan at an annual rate of 8 percent that you must pay off in 10
months:
PMT(8%/12, 10,
10000) equals
-$1,037.03
For the same loan, if payments are due at the
beginning of the period, the payment is:
PMT(8%/12, 10,
10000, 0, 1)
equals -$1,030.16
The following formula returns the amount someone
must pay to you each month if you loan that person $5,000 at 12 percent and
want to be paid back in five months:
PMT(12%/12, 5,
-5000) equals
$1,030.20
You can use PMT to determine payments to annuities
other than loans. For example, if you want to save $50,000 in 18 years by
saving a constant amount each month, you can use PMT to determine how much you
must save. If you assume you'll be able to earn 6 percent interest on your savings,
you can use PMT to determine how much to save each month.
PMT(6%/12,
18*12, 0, 50000)
equals -$129.08
If you pay $129.08 into a 6 percent savings account
every month for 18 years, you will have $50,000
PV ( ) : Returns
the present value of an investment. The present value is the total amount that
a series of future payments is worth now. For example, when you borrow money,
the loan amount is the present value to the lender.
Syntax
PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)
FV ( ) : -Returns the future value of an investment
based on periodic, constant payments and a constant interest rate.
Syntax
FV(rate,nper,pmt,pv,type)
Rate ( ) : - Returns the interest rate per
period of an annuity. RATE is calculated by iteration and can have zero or more
solutions. If the successive results of RATE do not converge to within
0.0000001 after 20 iterations, RATE returns the #NUM! error value.
Syntax
=RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv,type,guess
Nper (
) : - Returns the number of periods for an investment based on periodic,
constant payments and a constant interest rate.
Syntax
NPER(rate, pmt, pv,
fv, type)
