Enter values above to calculate results.
Your fixed monthly payment amount. This includes both principal and interest and remains constant throughout the loan term.
The portion of each payment that goes toward reducing your loan balance. This amount increases over time as interest decreases.
The portion of each payment that goes to interest charges. This amount decreases over time as your principal balance shrinks.
The outstanding loan amount after each payment. This shows how your debt decreases over time and when you'll reach zero balance.
PMT = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where:
Interest Payment = Remaining Balance × Monthly Rate
Principal Payment = Monthly Payment - Interest Payment
New Balance = Previous Balance - Principal Payment

Understanding loan amortization helps you make informed financial decisions, plan for the future, and potentially save thousands in interest through strategic payments.
See exactly when and how you build equity in your home or asset. Early in the loan, you're mostly paying interest with little equity gain.
Identify the best times to make extra principal payments to maximize interest savings and accelerate loan payoff.
Plan major financial decisions around your loan schedule, like refinancing timing or when to sell your home.
Calculate the exact savings from extra payments, refinancing, or shorter loan terms to optimize your financial strategy.
Amortization schedules are essential tools for various types of loans and financial planning scenarios.
Track equity building, plan for PMI removal, evaluate refinancing opportunities, and understand the long-term cost of homeownership.
Understand depreciation vs. loan balance, avoid being underwater on your car loan, and plan for trade-in timing.
Plan cash flow, understand interest tax deductions, evaluate equipment financing options, and manage debt ratios.
Compare repayment plans, understand capitalized interest effects, and plan forgiveness program strategies.
Evaluate debt consolidation benefits, plan extra payments for maximum savings, and understand total cost of borrowing.
Calculate cash flow after debt service, plan for property improvements, and evaluate refinancing for better terms.
Interest is calculated on the outstanding balance. Early in the loan, the balance is highest, so interest charges are highest. As you pay down principal, interest charges decrease.
Extra payments can save significant interest and reduce loan term. For example, an extra $100/month on a $300K mortgage could save over $60,000 in interest and reduce the term by 8 years.
Compare your guaranteed loan interest rate savings against potential investment returns. Consider your risk tolerance, tax situation, and overall financial goals when making this decision.
Very accurate for fixed-rate loans with standard terms. However, actual payments may vary due to escrow adjustments, fees, or rate changes in adjustable-rate mortgages.
