If you just 2% compounded annually just put

I/Y - 2
N - 3

That should get you where you're going.

I may have misunderstood what you were going for the first time.

Also make sure P/Y is 1 in that situation correct?

I don't think I'm explaining this correctly. Let's say I use your info..

n: 3
i/y: 2
pv: -3,200
fv: 0
P/Y: 1

Calculate PMT= 1,087.86

Multiply the annual payment by three years, and you get a total P&I of 3,263.57, which means positive net interest of 63.57.

63.57 of interest is 2% of the original loan, but that is a 0.66% annual rate of return. That's why i/y has to be 6% to get an annualized ~2% return.

When i/y is 6%, you get annual payments at 1,129.39, or $3,388.16 of total P&I. Positive net interest of 188.16 which is right around 2% when annualized ($62.72 each year). Correct me if I'm wrong.
