Hi Team

I wish to work out the formula used by banks to calculate mortgage
payments...

Here is the data from my bank statement:

Interest Mortgage Monthly Payment Interest Paid
7.50% $59,462.00 $483.00 $379.00

20 year term ( I think)

I will then use excel to work out what benifit wil lbe gained in
making a lump sum payment on the fixed loan ver the penilty payment
for doing so on a fixed loan...
- dont do this for me, thats my project! I'm just after info on how
payments are calclated

Hi John,

<20 year term ( I think)

That's the problem!

None of my calculations gets exactly your result. If I use the PMT function and try to make it return 483, I can't get any closer
than 485.5

First try to make sure what the term is exactly.

In the meantime you could experiment with PMT yourself: try both the yearly rate/12, the EFFECT(7.5%,12)/12 rate, a yearly
payment/12, payment in advance or arrears, etc.

have fun!

First try to make sure what the term is exactly.

Years of loan 20

After Lump Sum Payment# -$304
=IPMT(E49/12,E50*3, E51,(E52-E53))
Savings over 6 mnth of making payment -$170
