Syntax
CUMPRINC(rate,nper,pv,start_period,end_period,type)
Rate is the interest rate.
Nper is the total number of payment periods.
Pv is the present value.
Start_period is the first period in the calculation. Payment periods are numbered beginning with 1.
End_period is the last period in the calculation.
Type is the timing of the payment.
Type |
Timing |
0 (zero) |
Payment at the end of the period |
1 |
Payment at the beginning of the period |
Remarks
- Make sure that you are consistent about the units you use for specifying rate and nper. If you make monthly payments on a four-year loan at an annual interest rate of 12 percent, use 12%/12 for rate and 4*12 for nper. If you make annual payments on the same loan, use 12% for rate and 4 for nper.
- Nper, start_period, end_period, and type are truncated to integers.
- If rate ≤ 0, nper ≤ 0, or pv ≤ 0, CUMPRINC returns the #NUM! error value.
- If start_period < 1, end_period < 1, or start_period > end_period, CUMPRINC returns the #NUM! error value.
- If type is any number other than 0 or 1, CUMPRINC returns the #NUM! error value.
