Loan Amortization FAQs
Everything you need to know about loan schedules, interest calculation, and principal reduction.
A loan amortization schedule is a complete table showing every periodic payment on an amortizing loan. It details how much of each payment goes toward the principal balance versus interest, alongside the remaining balance after each payment.
Interest is calculated based on your remaining principal balance. Because your balance is highest at the start of the loan term, your interest charges are also highest. As you pay down the principal over time, the interest portion decreases, and more of your payment goes directly toward paying off the loan.
Making extra payments directly reduces your principal balance. This lowers the base amount used to calculate interest for all remaining months, which shortens your loan payoff duration and significantly reduces the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
