Apply the Payoff and Close off your Loan

In this final section on Payoffs, we look at how to close off your loan after you receive your payoff. As soon as you have received your Payoff and are sure it has cleared, you can close off your Loan.


Payoff Worksheet

IMPORTANT
Payoff Statement make sure date is not changed or removed from Cell G2

Setup Worksheet

Click on the Setup worksheet.

Scroll down on your screen to Row 65.

  1. Enter the Actual Payoff Date in Cell C65. In our example our Payoff Date was May 17 2021, so we entered 5/17/21 in Cell 65.
  2. Then, enter the Payoff Amount you actually received in Cell C67. We Actually received $125,349.19 and entered this amount.

Setup worksheet entering Actual Payoff Date and Payoff Amount

If the Payoff Amount you entered in Cell C67 is the same as what is expected, shown in Cell C66, then Mortgage Balance will be shown as $0.00.

In our example, our loan can be easily closed, as the Payoff Amount Matches the Expected Amount. If in your loan it does not, then you will see further details below as to what the difference is.

Further information after payoff date and amount entered

That's it, your Loan is now Closed.

If you get errors or unexpected amounts to Interest etc
Make sure that the date that is entered for the Payoff Start Date on the Payoff worksheet in Cell G2 is the statement period that includes the date you actually paid off. If it doesn't, then the amount expected at Payoff will not be correct. If no date is entered at all then you will receive multiple errors and the Total Payoff will be blank.
