Amortization calculator

See how your payments split over time.

Enter your loan details to see a year-by-year breakdown of principal and interest — and how extra monthly payments could shorten your loan and reduce total interest.

This is an estimate based on a fixed-rate loan. Actual schedules vary by loan terms.

Understand where your money goes.

This calculator shows how each payment is split between principal and interest over the life of the loan. Use the extra payment field to see the impact of paying a little more each month.

Enter the home price you are planning around.

Enter your planned down payment amount.

Use a reasonable estimate if you do not have a rate yet.

Optional. See how paying extra each month affects total interest and payoff time. Start with $0 to see the base schedule.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter your loan amount, rate, and term — or use price minus down payment.
  2. Review how early payments lean toward interest and later payments toward principal.
  3. Add an extra monthly payment to see how much time and interest you may save.
  4. Use the schedule to plan — your servicer’s statement is the official record.

Common questions, plain answers.

Amortization is the process of paying off a loan through regular payments over time. Each payment covers both interest and principal, but the split between the two changes over the life of the loan. Early payments are mostly interest. Later payments are mostly principal.
