IPMT
IPMT: Returns the interest-only component of a payment for a specific period.
Summary
Use this with PMT or PPMT to break a fixed payment into interest and principal pieces.
Remarks
rateis the interest rate per payment period.peris 1-based and must satisfy1 <= per <= nper.- Cash-flow sign convention: for a positive loan principal (
pv), interest components are typically negative. type = 1yields zero interest in period 1 (annuity-due first payment).- Returns
#NUM!whenperis outside valid bounds.

FAQ
Why is IPMT period 1 equal to zero for type=1?
With beginning-of-period payments, the first payment occurs before interest accrues, so period-1 interest is zero.
