Calculates the cumulative principal paid over a range of payment periods for an investment based on constant-amount periodic payments and a constant interest rate. Learn more
The CUMPRINC function in Google Sheets is used to calculate the cumulative principal payments made on a loan or investment over a specified period, assuming a constant interest rate.
The function takes six arguments:
Rate: The interest rate per period of the loan or investment. Numberofperiods: The total number of payment periods for the loan or investment. Presentvalue: The present value or principal amount of the loan or investment. Firstperiod: The first payment period for which you want to calculate the cumulative principal payment. Lastperiod: The last payment period for which you want to calculate the cumulative principal payment. Endor_beginning: This argument specifies whether the payments are made at the end or beginning of each period. Use 0 or "End of period" for payments made at the end of each period, or 1 or "Beginning of period" for payments made at the beginning of each period.
The CUMPRINC function returns the cumulative principal payment made from the firstperiod to the lastperiod, inclusive.
