Understanding Amortization
How Amortization Works
An amortization schedule shows how each monthly payment is split between principal (the amount borrowed) and interest (the cost of borrowing). At the beginning of your loan, most of your payment goes toward interest. As you pay down the principal, more of each payment goes toward reducing the loan balance.
This schedule helps you understand how much you'll pay in interest over the life of the loan and when you'll build equity in your home.
Key Terms
Principal
The original amount borrowed
Interest
The cost of borrowing money
Balance
The remaining amount owed
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an amortization schedule?
An amortization schedule is a table that shows each monthly payment, how much goes toward principal, how much goes toward interest, and the remaining balance after each payment.
Why does more interest get paid at the beginning?
Interest is calculated based on the remaining loan balance. At the beginning, the balance is highest, so interest charges are highest. As you pay down the principal, the interest portion decreases.
How does extra principal payment affect the schedule?
Making extra principal payments reduces the remaining balance faster, which reduces future interest charges and can shorten the loan term.
Can I pay off my loan early?
Yes, most mortgages allow early repayment without penalty. Check your loan agreement for any prepayment penalties.
