CUMIPMT_ADD

Returns the total interest paid on a loan in specified periods.

This function is only available if the Analysis AddIn is installed.

Syntax:

CUMIPMT_ADD(rate; numperiods; value; start; end; type)

rate: the interest rate per period.
numperiods: the total number of payment periods remaining.
value: the current value of the loan.
start: the first period to include. Periods are numbered beginning with 1.
end: the last period to include.
type: when payments are made:
0 - at the end of each period.
1 - at the start of each period.

Example:

CUMIPMT_ADD(5.5%/12; 12*2; 5000; 4; 6; 0)

returns approximately -57.80. You took out a 2 year loan of 5000 currency units at a yearly interest rate of 5.5%, making monthly payments at the end of the month. The interest you pay in the 4th-6th months inclusive is 57.80 currency units. It is given as negative because you pay it.
