hi team,
working through some amortising and calculating of loan repayments etc..

I have this example;
Loan Term: 60 months
Interest Rate: 10% Annual
Borrow: $50,000
Fee Excluded from 'advised interest rate' $5,000
my formula would be;
=PMT(10%/12,60,-55000,0,1) = result $1,158.93

If i work backwards on this one using =rate;
=RATE(60,1158.93,-55000,0,1)*12 =result 10%

shouldn't the =rate result be higher, as it includes an extra $5,000?

thanks

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
If the fee is excluded from the interest rate then wouldn't the PMT formula be:
PMT(0.1/12,60,-50000,0,1)

the fee is excluded from the 'advised interest rate' however included in the repayment... this is why i'm trying to work backwards to work out the 'true' interest rate
