What is an amortization schedule?

Amortization is the process of gradually repaying your loan by making regular monthly payments of principal and interest. With a fixed-rate loan, your monthly principal and interest payment stays consistent, or the same amount, over the term of the loan. But, over time, more of your payment goes towards the principal balance, while the monthly cost or payment of interest decreases. An amortization schedule shows how much money you pay in principal and interest. It also shows total interest over the term of your loan.

What is the effect of paying extra principal on your mortgage?

Depending on your financial situation, paying extra principal on your mortgage can be a great option to reduce interest expense and pay off the loan more quickly. Use this amortization calculator to help you determine how many months it could take to pay off your loan with or without making extra payments.

Conforming fixed-rate estimated monthly payment and APR example: A $464,000 loan amount with a 30-year term at an interest rate of 6.500% with a down payment of 25% and no discount points purchased would result in an estimated monthly principal and interest payment of $2,933 over the full term of the loan with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 6.667%.1

Amortization extra payment example: Paying an extra $200 a month on a $464,000 fixed-rate loan with a 30-year term at an interest rate of 6.500% and a down payment of 25% could save you $115,843 in interest over the full term of the loan and you could pay off your loan in 301 months vs. 360 months.
