			<h1>ISPMT Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>ISPMT</b> function is one of the financial functions. It is used to calculate the interest payment for a specified period of an investment based on a constant payment schedule.</p>
			<p>The <b>ISPMT</b> function syntax is:</p> 
			<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>ISPMT(rate, per, nper, pv)</em></b></p> 
			<p><em>where</em></p> 
				<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>rate</em></b> is the interest rate for the investment.</p>
                <p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>per</em></b> is the period you want to find the interest payment for. The value must be from <b><em>1</em></b> to <b><em>nper</em></b>.</p> 
				<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>nper</em></b> is a number of payments.</p> 
				<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>pv</em></b> is a present value of the payments.</p>
            <p class="note"><b>Note:</b> cash paid out (such as deposits to savings) is represented by negative numbers; cash received (such as dividend checks) is represented by positive numbers. Units for <em>rate</em> and <em>nper</em> must be consistent: use N%/12 for <em>rate</em> and N*12 for <em>nper</em> in case of monthly payments, N%/4 for <em>rate</em> and N*4 for <em>nper</em> in case of quarterly payments, N% for <em>rate</em> and N for <em>nper</em> in case of annual payments.</p>
            <p>The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.</p>
