Is there a way to use the PMT(), PV(), NPER(), and RATE() functions like in excel, like with a module? Or are they built in by defualt? I'm doing a project for school that's due really soon so any help you could give is very much appreciated. Thanks!

No, you will have to write them. If you let me know what they calculate in the next 1/2hr, I can get back to you fairly quickly with an idea how to code them, assuming I understand them.

NPER() The NPER function returns the number of payment periods for a loan or annuity based on a series of regular periodic cash flows (payments of a constant amount and all cash flows at constant intervals) and a fixed interest rate. PMT() The PMT function returns the fixed periodic payment for a loan or annuity based on a series of regular periodic cash flows (payments of a constant amount and all cash flows at constant intervals) and a fixed interest rate. PV() The PV function returns the present value of an investment or annuity based on a series of regular periodic cash flows (payments of a constant amount and all cash flows at constant intervals) and a fixed interest rate. RATE() The RATE function returns the interest rate of an investment, loan, or annuity based on a series of regular periodic cash flows (payments of a constant amount and all cash flows at constant intervals) and a fixed interest rate.
