5. FAQs

What is amortization?

Amortization is the process of spreading out a loan into a series of fixed payments over time. Each payment consists of both a principal portion and an interest portion. In the beginning of the loan, a larger part of your payment goes toward interest. As you continue to make payments, more and more of each payment is allocated to reducing your principal balance.

How is the total interest calculated?

The total interest is calculated by first determining your total payments over the life of the loan (your calculated monthly payment multiplied by the total number of months). Then, the original principal loan amount is subtracted from this total. The remaining amount is the total interest you will have paid once the loan is complete.

Can I use this calculator for a mortgage?

Yes, absolutely. This calculator is perfect for fixed-rate mortgages. However, please note that it does not account for additional costs such as property taxes, homeowner’s insurance (PITI), or private mortgage insurance (PMI), which are often included in a monthly mortgage payment.

Why does my first payment have the highest interest?

Interest is calculated based on the outstanding loan balance. Since your balance is at its highest at the very beginning of the loan, the interest portion of your first payment will also be the highest. As you pay down the principal, the interest calculated on the smaller remaining balance decreases with each payment.

What if my loan has a variable interest rate?

This calculator is designed for fixed-rate loans, where the interest rate remains constant for the entire term. If you have a variable-rate loan (ARM), your payments will change when the rate adjusts. This tool can still be useful for calculating your initial payment period, but it cannot predict future payment changes.
