PPMT(rate,per,nper,pval,fval,type)

This function has these arguments:

Argument	Description
rate	Value of interest rate per period.
per	Number of the period for which to find the interest, between 1 and nper
nper	Total number of payment periods in an annuity.
pval	Present value, worth now
fval	[Optional] Future value, cash value after the last payment; if omitted, the calculation uses zero
type	[Optional] Indicates when payments are due; at the end (0) or beginning (1) of the period; if omitted, the calculation uses the end (0)

Be sure to express the interest rate as per annum. For example, if the interest rate is 8 percent, use 8 for the rate argument.

The result is represented by a negative number because it is money paid out by you.

See the PV function for the equation for calculating financial values.
