About this tool

Amortization Calculator

Generate an amortization schedule from loan amount, interest rate and term, with an optional extra monthly payment. Use it to understand how each payment is divided between principal and interest and how extra payments can change the projected payoff.

What This Amortization Calculator Does

Generate a payment schedule showing how interest and principal change over the life of an amortizing loan.

Inputs and What They Mean

Enter the loan amount, annual interest rate, term and optional extra monthly payment. The calculator produces payment totals and an amortization table.

How the Calculation Works

Each scheduled payment is divided between interest and principal. Interest is calculated from the outstanding balance, so the interest portion generally falls as the balance declines. Extra principal payments can accelerate the decline in the balance.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the values that describe your situation.
  2. Check the units, frequency and assumptions shown beside each field.
  3. Choose any available mode or calculation target before calculating.
  4. Select Calculate and review the result card.
  5. Change one assumption at a time when comparing scenarios.

How to Interpret the Result

Use the schedule to inspect the first payments, later payments and total interest. Compare the standard schedule with an extra-payment scenario to understand the potential payoff and interest savings under the same assumptions.

Important Assumptions and Limitations

The schedule is a mathematical projection. Actual lender statements can differ because of payment dates, daily interest calculations, fees, rounding, rate changes or contractual rules.

Practical Planning Tip

Use the calculator as a scenario-testing tool. Save or compare a conservative case, a base case and a more optimistic case instead of relying on a single projection. For financial decisions, verify rates, fees, taxes, contractual terms and local rules with the relevant provider or official source.

Does it show principal and interest by period?

Yes. The schedule separates interest, principal and remaining balance and can model an extra monthly payment.
