One use of the NPER function is to calculate the number of periodic payments for loan.

The NPER function is configured as follows:

rate- The interest rate per period.

This is the known amount $93.22, which comes from cell C7.

Excel formula: Calculate compound interest

pv- The present value, or total value of all payments now.

We do not provide a value since the default is zero and makes sense for a loan.

jot down- When payments are due, where 0 = end of period and 1 = beginning of period.
