5. FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is amortization?

Amortization is the process of paying off a debt over time through regular, equal payments. A portion of each payment goes towards the loan’s interest, and the remaining amount is applied to reduce the principal balance. Our schedule shows you this breakdown for every payment.

Q2: How does the loan term affect my mortgage?

The loan term has a significant impact. A shorter term (e.g., 15 years) means higher monthly payments but substantially less total interest paid over the life of the loan. A longer term (e.g., 30 years) results in lower, more manageable monthly payments, but you’ll pay much more in total interest.

Q3: Can I use this calculator for other types of loans?

Yes! While designed for mortgages, the underlying formula is for a standard amortizing loan. You can use it for auto loans or personal loans, as long as they have a fixed interest rate and a set repayment term.

Q4: Does this calculator include taxes and insurance (PITI)?

No, this calculator focuses on the principal and interest (P&I) portion of your payment. Your actual monthly payment to the lender will likely also include property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and possibly private mortgage insurance (PMI), collectively known as PITI. This tool is for understanding the loan itself.

Q5: How can the charts help me?

The charts provide a powerful visual summary. The pie chart quickly shows the total cost of borrowing. The line chart motivates you by visualizing your debt decreasing over time. The bar and column charts reveal how, in the early years, most of your payment goes to interest, while in later years, it shifts to paying down the principal faster.
