Frequently Asked Questions
How does amortization work?
With a fixed-rate loan, early payments go mostly toward interest. Over time, as the balance decreases, more of each payment goes to principal. This is called amortization.
Why do early payments have so much interest?
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance each month. Early in the loan, the balance is highest, so the interest portion is largest. As you pay down principal, interest decreases.
Can I see the full schedule?
The calculator shows the first 12 months of your amortization schedule. Most lenders provide a full amortization schedule when you originate a loan.
