Frequently Asked Questions
What is amortization?+
Amortization is the process of spreading a loan into a series of fixed payments. Early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal. An amortization schedule shows this breakdown for every payment.
How do extra payments help?+
Extra payments go directly to principal, reducing the balance faster. On a $250K mortgage at 6.5% for 30 years, adding just $200/month saves ~$108K in interest and pays off the loan 7 years early.
Why is most of my early payment going to interest?+
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance. With a large balance early on, most of your payment covers interest. As the balance decreases, more goes to principal. This is normal for amortized loans.
