Using the Excel Mortgage Calculator Template
In order to use the above Excel Mortgage Calculator, simply enter your mortgage details into the pink-shaded user-input fields (shown on the rightabove). The details required are the loan amount, the interest rate, the number of years over which the loan is taken out, and the number of payments per year.
Once you have entered these details, the summary table at the top-right of the spreadsheet will automatically display a summary of the mortgage payment details, and the mortgage amortization schedule will be displayed in the bottom half of the spreadsheet.
If you want the spreadsheet to show the dates of each of the scheduled payments, you must also enter the loan start date into the user-input fields. Once this has been entered, the summary box on the top left of the spreadsheet will display the date of the final payment and the date of each of the scheduled payments will be displayed in the bottom half of the spreadsheet.
