EXAMPLE:CUMIPMT IN EXCEL
DATA SAMPLE
Let us try an example for the calculating the interest for a particular period.
Suppose we have the loan of 100000 dollars.
We took the loan for one year and will be paying monthly.
Rate of interest is 10% per annum.
Let us calculate the cumulated interest for the complete period.
Let us finalize the arguments for our formula
INTEREST RATE =10/12% as monthly payment so interest rate also converted to monthly.
NUMBER OF PAYMENT PERIODS 12 as payment is monthly for one year.
CURRENT VALUE is 100000 dollars
STARTING PERIOD is 1
LAST PERIOD is 12
TYPE is 0
STEPS TO USE COUPPCD
=CUMIPMT(J12,J13,J14,J15,J16,0)
As we paid the interest monthly, the rate of interest was divided by 12.
The result comes out to be 5499.06 which will be the cumulative interest for the 12 months.
