I am trying to find out if there is a loan calculator template for numbers like you can find in excel.

A Google search on 'iwork templates loan calculator' (without the quotes) brings up this one.

It also brings up an article on How to create a mortgage calculator using the Mortgage template in the Personal Finance section of Numbers's supplied templates.

Do you think it is safe to download?

It is a zip file, not a straight Numbers Template. There have been vulnerabilities around zip files, though none that I know of regarding the extractor in OS X.

A Numbers template or document cannot contain macros or scripts so no worries there, as long as the file within the zip file is a Numbers document. I know of no vulnerabilities regarding the Numbers application but that doesn't mean a clever hacker knows none.

I think the chance of it being malware is very slim. But that is only an opinion.

If you have Excel, create a document from the Excel loan template, save it and open it in Numbers. I tried it with the Car Loan Worksheet provided with Excel 2008 and it worked fine.

Hi,

In Numbers if you go under the File menu choose New from template there there is a Mortgage and Loan comparison templates that might be of interest.

Hope this helps.
