For this example, we want to calculate cumulative principal payments over the full term of a 5-year loan of $5,000 with an interest rate of 4.5%. To do this, we set up CUMPRINC like this:
rate - The interest rate per period. We divide the value in C6 by 12 since 4.5%...Read more

For this example, we want to calculate the interest portion for payment 1 of a 5-year loan of $5,000 with an interest rate of 4.5%. To do this, we set up PPMT like this:
rate - The interest rate per period. We divide the value in C6 by 12 since 4.5% represents annual...Read more
The IPMT function returns the interest payment for a given payment period of an investment or a loan, based on constant periodic payments and a constant interest rate. IPMT takes six arguments, four of which are required:
=IPMT(rate,per,nper,pv,[fv],[...Read moreFor this example, we want to calculate the principal portion for payment 1 of a 5-year loan of $5,000 with an interest rate of 4.5%. To do this, we set up PPMT like this:
