Default Goalseek gives incorrect results

Hello
Using =PMT formula, I input B1=pmt(14.5%/12,60,A1) and in GoalSeek, I set
cell B1 to 5000 by changing cell A1 and I get 212,510.21 as the result
whereas simply seen 5000 in one year would be 60K and in 5 years it would be
300K. For small values it provides proper results but not for this one. What
wrong am I doing?
Thanks
