Jollen MoyaniAs a developer, you may need to generate loan EMI (equated monthly installment) schedules as part of your finance applications. An EMI schedule is a table that shows the amount of money that needs to be paid each month towards a loan. Generating this EMI schedule in an Excel document will provide additional UI features that enhance the data’s readability.
The Syncfusion Excel (XlsIO) Library is a high-performance .NET Excel framework. This library allows you to create, read, and edit Microsoft Excel files in any .NET app. It also provides powerful conversion APIs that convert Excel files to PDF, images, and other formats.
In this blog, we’ll see how to generate a loan EMI schedule as an Excel document in C# using the Syncfusion .NET Excel Library.
Generate a loan EMI schedule in an Excel document using C
We’ll create an Excel document, calculate the EMI using the PMT formula, and then populate the EMI schedule into the Excel document by following these steps:
Note: If you are new to our Excel Library, following our Getting Started guide is highly recommended.
1.First, create a new console app (.NET Core) in Visual Studio by navigating to File > New > Project in the C# section. 
2.Then, install the Syncfusion.XlsIO.Net.Core NuGet package. 
3.Add the following code to the Program.cs file to generate the loan EMI schedule as an Excel document.
/// <summary>
/// Generates the loan schedule Excel document.
/// </summary>
private void GenerateLoanEMISchedule()
{
// Initialize Excel Engine.
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Xlsx;
// Create a new workbook and worksheet.
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
// Get loan details from the user.
GetLoanDetails();
// Calculate EMI.
CalculateEMI(sheet, m_BankName, m_AccountNumber, m_CustomerName, m_InterestRate, m_LoanAmount, m_Tenure, m_BorrowedDate);
// Display the EMI amount.
Console.WriteLine("Your EMI amount is.." + sheet["F10"].DisplayText);
// Save workbook and close stream.
Directory.CreateDirectory("../../../GeneratedOutput");
FileStream generatedExcel = new FileStream("../../../GeneratedOutput/Loan EMI Schedule.xlsx", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
workbook.Version = ExcelVersion.Xlsx;
workbook.SaveAs(generatedExcel);
generatedExcel.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Excel document generated successfully..");
}
}
We’ll calculate the EMI using the PMT function in Microsoft Excel.
/// <summary>
/// Calculate EMI and generate EMI schedule.
/// </summary>
