What is CUMPRINC function in Excel?

CUMPRINC function is one of the Financial functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the cumulative principal paid on a loan between start_period and end_period.

Syntax of CUMPRINC function

CUMPRINC(rate, nper, pv, start_period, end_period, type)

The CUMPRINC function syntax has the following arguments:

  • Rate: The interest rate.
  • Nper:  The total number of payment periods.
  • Pv: The present value.
  • Start_period: The first period in the calculation. Payment periods are numbered beginning with 1.
  • End_period: The last period in the calculation.
  • Type: The timing of the payment.
Type Timing

1 Payment at the beginning of the period

CUMPRINC formula explanation

  • Make sure that you are consistent about the units you use for specifying rate and nper. If you make monthly payments on a four-year loan at an annual interest rate of 12 percent, use 12%/12 for rate and 4*12 for nper. If you make annual payments on the same loan, use 12% for rate and 4 for nper.
  • If rate ≤ 0, nper ≤ 0, or pv ≤ 0, CUMPRINC returns the #NUM! error value.
  • If start_period < 1, end_period < 1, or start_period > end_period, CUMPRINC returns the #NUM! error value.
  • If type is any number other than 0 or 1, CUMPRINC returns the #NUM! error value.
