CUMIPMT(rate,nper,pv,start_period,end_period,type)
=CUMIPMT(0.05/12, 360, 200000, 1, 12, 0)
The CUMIPMT function is used to calculate the cumulative interest paid on a loan over a specified range of payment periods. In this example, we calculate the cumulative interest paid on a $200,000 loan with an annual interest rate of 5% over the first 12 months (periods 1 to 12). The loan has a total of 360 monthly payments. Payments are made at the end of each period (type 0). The formula returns -$10,285.18, which is the total interest paid over the first 12 months.
=CUMIPMT(0.04/4, 8, 10000, 3, 6, 1)
In this example, we calculate the cumulative interest paid on a $10,000 investment with a quarterly interest rate of 4% per annum over the third to sixth quarters (periods 3 to 6). The investment has a total of 8 quarterly periods. Payments are made at the beginning of each period (type 1). The formula returns -$798.58, which is the total interest paid over the specified range of periods.
=ROUND(CUMIPMT(0.06/12, 240, 150000, 1, 12, 0), 2)
The CUMIPMT function can also be used in combination with other Excel functions. For instance, it can be used together with the ROUND function to round the result of a CUMIPMT calculation to a specific decimal place. In this example, we calculate the cumulative interest paid on a $150,000 loan with an annual interest rate of 6% over the first 12 months (periods 1 to 12). The loan has a total of 240 monthly payments. Payments are made at the end of each period (type 0). The formula returns -$9,040.98, a rounded version of the total interest paid over the first 12 months.
The CUMIPMT function is used to calculate the cumulative interest payments on a loan. It requires six arguments which must be provided correctly in order to avoid a #NUM! error.
