I am working on a worksheet that shows payment information for mortgages.
However, the results I get for the payment is off by just a little bit (nothing consistent) and the APR is consistently wrong (always the same as the interest rate). Here is an example of what I have: B6 - $139,000.00 (loan amount) B7 - 240 (total number of payments) B8 - 12 (number of payments per year) B11 - 7.00% (interest rate) B15 - 365/360 (Interest method) F15 - $0.00 (Fees for the mortgage, if any) To calculate the APR, I am using the following: =RATE(B7,PMT(B11/12,B7,B6),B6-F15)*12 My results are 7% and it should be 7.126%. Every time I use this calculation, the APR comes out the same as the Interest Rate. Also, my monthly payment is incorrect. To calculate it, I am doing the following: 1st - I am using the following number: A38 - 0.0735439979799297 This number is calculated from the formula: =IF(B15="365/365",1*(1+B11/365)^365-1,IF(B15="30/360",1*(1+B11/360)^30-1,IF(B15="365/360",1*(1+B11/360)^365-1, IF(B15="30/365",1*(1+B11/365)^30-1,"")))). I was told on a previous post that this is how I would work with the different interest types. So, the monthly payment is calculated as =IF(B15="365/365",PMT(A38/12,B39*12,-B6),IF(B15="365/360",PMT(A38/12,B39*12,-B6),IF(B15="30/360",PMT(A38,B39*12,-B6),IF(B15="30/365",PMT(A38,B39*12,-B6),"")))) B39 = 20 (number of years) I am getting $1107.43 for the monthly payment, but it should be $1086.22. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong? I have looked at this until I am blue in the face and have no idea what to do. Thank you in advance for your time. |
