Returns a value specifying the payment for an annuity
The function Pmt returns a value specifying the payment for an annuity based on periodic, fixed payments and a fixed interest rate.

Pmt (Rate, NPer, PV, FV)
Pmt (Rate, NPer, PV, FV, Due)
Rate
The interest rate per period. For example, if you get a car loan at an annual percentage rate (APR) of 10 percent and make monthly payments, the rate per period is 0.1/12, or 0.0083.
NPer
The total number of payment periods in the annuity. For example, if you make monthly payments on a four-year car loan, your loan has a total of 4 × 12 (or 48) payment periods.
PV
The present value (or lump sum) that a series of payments to be paid in the future is worth now. For example, when you borrow money to buy a car, the loan amount is the present value to the lender of the monthly car payments you will make.
FV
The future value or cash balance you want after you have made the final payment.
For example, the future value of a loan is $0 because that is its value after the final payment. However, if you want to save $50,000 during 18 years for your child's education, then $50,000 is the future value.
If omitted, 0 is assumed.
Due
Value that specifies when payments are due. This argument must be either 0 if payments are due at the end of the payment period, or 1 if payments are due at the beginning of the period.
If omitted, 0 is assumed.
