Mortgage Loan Excel Sheet#

If anybody would be interested, I've recently put together an Excel sheet that calculates the payment table ("aflossingstabel") for a loan, i.e. for each month it shows you how much you need to pay, what the interest is, what the remaining capital is, ...

I've only modeled two options (that were relevant to me): fixed monthly payments ("vaste mensualiteit") - where you pay the same consant amount every month - and fixed capital ("vaste kapitaalaflossing") payments - where you pay off a fixed amount of capital but a variable amount of interest (making it a decreasing loan).

When I showed this to my bank, they were actually pretty impressed so I figured somebody else might benefit from this :-) And yes, this means we just bought a house, yay! But the examples in the Excel sheet and below are not ours, if you were wondering ;-)

Features:

  • Calculates payment tables for loans up to 40 years
  • Shows payment graphs up to 25 years (by default, you can enlarge this of course)
  • Calculates how much of your total payments are actually interest payments (try not to weep when looking at this)
  • Allows you to compare different loan options (amount, duration, interest rate), e.g. to compare different bank proposals

Download here: Loans.zip (108 KB).

Note that you can only open this in Excel 2007 since it uses some financial functions only available there. And although the calculations were very accurate (just a few cents deviation on the total amounts compared to the bank's proposals), it goes without saying that you use this at your own financial risk :-)

Example payment table:

Example yearly graph for a fixed payment (constant) loan:

Example monthly graph for a fixed capital (decreasing) loan:

My "Deep Dive Into The Guidance Automation Toolkit" presentation now online!#

Tom's team has been kind enough to put my session of last year's TechDays (then still known as the Developer & IT Pro Days) online on MSDN Chopsticks. You can find my "Deep Dive Into The Guidance Automation Toolkit" presentation at http://www.microsoft.com/belux/msdn/nl/chopsticks/default.aspx?id=10. Everything I said back then is still relevant today, so if you missed it last year you can now catch up for free :-)

And in the light of Software Factory technologies, it also makes a nice preparation for my talk on Domain-Specific Development with Visual Studio DSL Tools next week. My session is scheduled on Thursday March 13 at 10:45. I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope to see you there!

This is my personal website, not my boss', not my mother's, and certainly not the pope's. My personal opinions may be irrelevant, inaccurate, boring or even plain wrong, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. But then again, you don't have to read them, I just hope you'll find something interesting here now and then. I'll certainly do my best. But if you don't like it, go read the pope's blog. I'm sure it's fascinating.
