6. Financial Functions
Calculate the monthly payment on a Rs.5,000 loan at
an annual rate of 7.5%. The loan is paid off in 2 years
(ie: 2 x 12). All payments are made at the beginning of
the period.
=PMT(7.5%/12, 2*12, 5000, 0, 1)
7. Calculate the weekly payment on a Rs.8,000 loan at
an annual rate of 6%. The loan is paid off in 4 years (ie:
4 x 52). All payments are made at the end of the
period.
=PMT(6%/52, 4*52, 8000, 0, 0)
8. PV Function
PV function returns the present value of an investment based on
an interest rate and a constant payment schedule.
• The syntax for the PV function is:
PV( interest_rate, number_payments, payment, [FV], [Type] )
interest_rate is the interest rate for the investment.
number_payments is the number of payments for the annuity.
payment is the amount of the payment made each period. If this
parameter is omitted, you must enter a FV value.
FV is optional. It is the future value of the payments. If this
parameter is omitted, the PV function assumes FV to be 0.
Type is optional. It indicates when the payments are
due. Type can be one of the following values:
9. Examples
• Calculate the present value of an investment that
pays Rs.250 at the end of every month for 2 years.
The money paid out will earn 7.5% annually.
=PV(7.5%/12, 2*12, 250, , 0)
• Calculate the present value of an investment that
pays Rs.50 at the beginning of every week for 4
years. The money paid out will earn 6% annually.
=PV(6%/52, 4*52, 50, , 1)
