Interest Rate Exposure Excel Dashboard
FINANCIAL MODELS LAB
Which repricing bucket creates the largest rise in interest expense?
Use the populated dashboard to read the result, investigate its components and explore the stated decision assumptions. The workbook keeps the source figures and calculation steps available so another reviewer can trace the same selection.
See the illustrative example
Month: Oct 2026, Unit: US floating book. The workbook opens with calculated sample figures and working financial charts. Each displayed amount belongs to its labelled selection and unit of measure.
Explore the financial questions
Cash interest uses the actual length of the selected month and a 360-day basis. Below-floor moves do not flow through to coupon.
Reprice the index on the full balance or the selected unhedged share. Preserve the spread and actual calendar days divided by 360. The remaining share stays at the base coupon.

Move between the decision views
The analytical views include Dashboard, Rate shock ladder, Coupon transmission. Start with the overview, then use the relevant driver, register or scenario view to explain a difference. Keep the reporting context consistent when comparing an amount with its source or another operating unit.
How to adapt the dashboard
Start with the short How to worksheet, which identifies the inputs, selectors and result views for this dashboard. Keep an unchanged copy of the sample before replacing its data. Enter your source values in the highlighted cells, review one reporting selection and reconcile a headline amount to your records. Change a material driver and check the result in its labelled unit. A decision assumption describes a modelled case; it does not replace the observed source figures.
Understand the calculation basis
Scenario assumes immediate repricing and constant principal for the month. It models cash interest on unhedged floating balances. Reprice the index on the full balance or the selected unhedged share. Preserve the spread and actual calendar days divided by 360. The remaining share stays at the base coupon.
