So there we have required Monthly installation payment.

So we use PMT function

 PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type)

Lets little describe the argument of PMT function.

Rate: is interest rate which include in monthly payment. in our case 2% (C6 in excel table above)

NPER: This is number of the payment in our case we have 4 year means that 12*4=48 Month

PV: this previous value . this actually value which is taken as loan . In my example is RS. 50000.

fv and type is optional so leave these two argument.

Now Put the PMT function in F6 cell of the above table which is monthly payment.

So after putting the function we have the solution : Rs 1630.09 per Month

In F6 cell we calculate the total amount which we are going to paid after 48 month ( 4 year) is

=1630.09 * 48 so we put a simple formula in F6 which is =E6*C6
