Default Newbie Question

Hi, this is my first post on this great site. I have started playing around with the desktop version and am trying to make a loan formula, but I must be getting the syntax wrong.

Here is what it's supposed to look like:

Payment = (Rate + (Rate / ((1 + Rate) ^ Months) * -1)) * Principal

For some reason when I enter it like that I get a syntax error. I believe that my use of negative one is the problem.

I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Steve
