When you find the correct adjustment for the "Schedule" sheet, use the same adjustment for each of the
other sheets. The "Balance" and "P+I" sheets will not need to be changed. When all the sheets have
been adjusted to suit you, save the workbook using "File, Save" found at the upper left.
Data Entries: By design, this program will not allow a value of less than one (1) to be entered in most
sections for: 1) the length of the loan, 2) the number of payments per year, and 3) the number of
compounding periods per year. While it is possible to have a loan that has one of these items at less
than one, it often leads to confusion regarding the correct values to be entered in the various data entry
areas. The decision was made to not allow entries of less than one.
As well the program does not allow a value of less than zero to be entered for: 1) the amount of the loan
or 2) the annual interest rate,
Compounding periods: Mortgages in Canada are normally compounded 2 times per year, not in
advance. Many other types of loans, such as equipment and demand loans are usually compounded
monthly. This program requires that a minimum of one compounding period per year be used.
Notes in Sheets: In many of the sheets, a small red dot is used to indicate notes and reminders.
Position the cursor slightly to the left and below the dot, and the note will appear.
Toolbars This workbook turns off most of the toolbars that are normally visible in Excel. If you load
another workbook while this workbook is still active, you may want to make some tool bars visible. To do
so, you have two options. Either right click on the visible toolbars and then select the additional toolbar(s)
that you want, or select View, Toolbars from the top menu.
Printing This workbook may not print well from all printers. You can change most printing options.
From the top menu select File, and either Pagesetup or Print. Pagesetup includes options for changing
margins, the print scale, paper choices and source and font sources. The Print option allows the
selection of individual printers, and their configuration.
Schedule: Shows the principal and interest portion of each payment, based on the information provided.
There are a maximum of 400 payments shown.
The optional payment column allows the entry of additional payments in addition to the scheduled
payment. When an additional payment is entered, that line and all subsequent payments will have their
data updated to reflect the new information. Missed or partial payment of a scheduled payment can be
entered as a negative value in the optional payment column.
From the starting (home) screen, tab right once to find interim and running totals for principal, interest
and total payments, including any optional payments shown in the main data area.
This area will allow the calculation of the various amount for principal, interest, and principal

for a selected interval, and includes adjustments for any additional payments shown.
If you enter a payment number greater than that in the loan, the result will be that the answer shown will
be zero. Enter the correct payment numbers.
Graphs
The graphs "Balance" and "P+I" are tied to the Schedule sheet and reflect the loan information entered
there including optional additional payments. If the loan exceeds 400 payments, only the first 400 are
shown.
The Balance graph shows the outstanding balance of the loan, reflecting the payment of principal over
time.
The P+I graph shows the amount of principal and interest of each payment.
Compare Enter the initial information on three loans to compare the payments required and the total
interest over the entire loan.
Prepay Calculates the interest savings over the life of the loan when a prepayment is made.
Refinance Uses three different options to compare the advantage or disadvantage of refinancing a
loan. Normally this option would be considered when interest rates have dropped significantly since the
time when the loan was originally taken out.
Note the calculation is only for the remaining term of the loan, not the entire remaining amortization. At the
end of the current term of the loan, the loan could be paid off in whole or in part, without additional fees,
and the remaining balance would be renegotiated at the rates current at that time.
Interest Rate Calculates the actual and effective interest rate, based on the information provided.
Time Shows the number of payments required to repay a loan, based on the information provided
and the selected payment. Also shows the total amount to repay the loan.
Max$ Calculates the maximum amount that can be borrowed, based on the dollars available for each
payment. Also shows the amount that could be borrowed if interest rates were 1% higher or lower than
indicated. As well, calculates the amount that could borrowed if the loan was 5 years longer or shorter.
