Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
The question is tricky because of a number of omitted details.

1. How is semi-annual interest calculated: cumulative daily interest; compound daily interest (!); cumulative monthly interest (!); compound monthly interest (!!); or semi-annually?

2. How is the annual rate converted to the rate that is commensurate with the calculation frequency? Often, rate/365, rate/12 or rate/2. But in many countries, (1+rate)^(1/f) - 1, where "f" is 365, 12 or 2. And then there is Canada (sigh).

3. What type of loan is this: mortgage, or something else. The choice might might affect the sub-annual rate calculation in some countries.

4. Is the start date Jan 5 or May 1? The detail might affect the sub-annual rate calculation, depending the terms of the loan.

5. What is the semi-annual payment? Ostensibly, we can use the PMT function. But in the real-world, that is always rounded: at least to the "cent"; often, to less precision (e.g. the "dollar").

Total cost is simple: principal + total intererst.

If interest is calculated and paid semi-annually, total interest can be calculated directly, namely: 14*payment - principal.

Perhaps something like the following, making some assumptions about the answers to the questions above.


Select or hover cursor over cells to see formulas. Use XL2BB scroll bar on the right. To copy into a new worksheet, click the Copy icon under "f(x)", and paste into A1.

not quite right no?
total interest is high.
annual rate of interest is 6%
loan is for 7 years with 6 months payment in each year.

i think the formula is off. please help. i am not sure.

Right. I just realized that myself. But I'm not sure we agree on what is off.

I believe the periodic and total interest are correct. Sum column E.

But the dated are wrong. Change the formula in B12 to =EDATE($B$2,6*A12) and copy down the column.

Thank you Joeu, could you please check the Interest? when i use an online tool to calculate the interest it comes up different.
here is the link:

The link that you provided shows $475,140.61 for total interest.

The "calculator" that I provided (response #2) shows the same result if we replace the formula in C4 with =(1+B4)^(1/2)-1 -- an option that I mentioned already.

Apparently, that is what calculator.net means by choosing the option Compound "Annually (APY)", as you did.

However, that is not correct for a US loan that conforms to the "Truth In Lending" regulations. For such US loans, the interest rate should be stated as a __simple__ annual rate, not a compounded annual rate (APY).

Since calculator.net is based in Texas (US), I find it odd that it does not at least provide an option for specifying a simple annual rate. Perhaps it does, and I'm not seeing it.

Oddly, we do get the same total interest with calculator.net that I calculated originally -- $482,577.45 with =B4/2 in C4 -- by choosing the option Compound Semi-Annually at calculator.net.

Using common-sense interpretation of English, I would have expected the results to be just the opposite for the two "compounding" options.

I should say: for the assumptions that I had to make. You have not answered any of my questions.

And you __still__ have not done so. I expect you to answer those questions based the terms of the actual (real-life) loan.

Since you cannot follow directions, this will be my last comment on the subject. Good luck!

PS....

OTOH, their terminology is consistent with Canadian terminology -- which never made sense to me. And sure enough, using calculator.net, we can calculate the terms of a Canadian loan with monthly payments by choosing Compound Semi-Annually and Pay Back Every Month. For my Excel design (posting #2), change C4 to =(1+B4/2)^(1/6)-1 (!!) and C5 to =12*B5.
