5g: IntOnIntλ()

Description

IntOnIntλ() stands for Interest on Interest. It calculates how much we need to borrow, in addition to principal, when we also need to borrow the interest. This is a common problem for project modelers who must calculate interest during construction (IDC). This is available in the Financial Starter Pack on Eloquens.Com.

Syntax

IntOnIntλ( Principal, Rate)

Principals    
(Required) Principal amount

Rate
(Required) Interest percentage rate. For years, APR. For months, APR/12

Example

This example is similar to traditional methods like FAST, where all the "ingredients" are listed on the left in individual rows and the calculations are to the right under a timeline. This function works equally well in single cells, dynamic arrays, and table based modeling.
