Extra payments reduce total interest and may shorten payoff time.

How Amortization Works

Each payment is split between interest (balance × periodic rate) and principal (payment − interest). As the balance shrinks, more of each payment goes toward principal, a process called amortization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does more of my payment go to principal over time?

Since interest is calculated on the remaining balance, as the balance drops, the interest portion shrinks and the principal portion grows, even though the total payment stays the same.

Can I see how extra payments affect my schedule?

This calculator shows the standard schedule; adding a lump-sum extra payment would shorten the remaining schedule since the balance drops faster.

What's a balloon payment?

A large lump-sum payment due at the end of some loan types; this calculator assumes a fully amortizing loan unless otherwise specified.

Is amortization the same for all loan types?

The core math is the same for any fixed-rate, fixed-term loan, though some loans may have additional fees or adjustable rates not reflected here.
