Hello

I seem to have an issue getting accurate calculations when i use %.
I'm trying to get a loan calculator but for some reason the "monthly payment" isn't the same as I have on my actual loan.
It's always off by a small margin.

For example i have 2 loans
loan 1 = € 10.000 at 3,95% intrest for 4 years I should get €225,25/m but it gives me €225,57/m
loan 2 = €4.500 at 6,90% intrest for 2 years I should get €200,84/m but it gives me €201,27/m

So either Excel calculates it wrong or my bank does. Can someone verify for me as I'm not the greatest at math & I doubt a bank would make a mistake when it comes to money.
Below should be a mini-sheet with the formula (I just copied it to an empty spreadsheet & translated it to english to make it easier).

Any help with this would be awesome as I'm trying to build a whole finance spreadsheet but I just can't seem to get this formula to get the amount right. :(

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
I just noticed, in "total cost of loan" it should be €10.812, this is probably part of the issue.
I'm basing this off the finance plan of my actual loan.
