Here I will take an example to demonstrate how to calculate the loan amortization interest easily. I loaned $50,000 from a bank, the loan interest rate is 6%, and I plan to repay the loan at the end of every month in coming 10 years.

Step 1: Prepare a table, enter the row headers as the following screen shot shown, and input your original data.

Step 2: Calculate the monthly/total payment and total interest with following formulas:

(1) In Cell B6 enter =PMT(B2/12,B3*12,B4,0,IF(A5="End of Period",0,1)), and press the Enter key;

(2) In Cell B7 enter =B6*B3*12, and press the Enter key;

(3) In Cell B8 enter =B7+B4, and press the Enter key.

I was wrong, the correct equation above is as shown because total payments are shown as negative values. So, you would add B4+B7 because the loan amount, B4, is positive, whereas B7, the total amount paid, is negative. So, all is good as is.

In Step 2 above, I strongly think that the equation should be B7-B4 to estimate the total interest. B7 is the total payments made (including interest) and B4 is the loan amount (principal borrowed).
