Amortization Schedule Calculator

An amortization schedule is the month-by-month story of paying off a loan. Each payment is the same, but the split between interest and principal shifts: early on, most of the money covers interest on a large balance, and only later does principal dominate. This amortization schedule calculator builds the full table from the loan amount, rate, and term, showing the interest and principal in every payment, the running balance, and the payoff date. You can also add an extra monthly principal payment to see how much faster the loan clears and how much interest you save.

Formula reviewed against Bankrate Amortization Calculator — schedule, payoff, and total-interest reference

How to calculate

Enter the loan amount, annual interest rate, and term, plus any extra monthly principal. The calculator computes the fixed payment, then walks the loan forward one month at a time: each month's interest is the balance times the monthly rate, the rest of the payment (plus any extra) reduces the balance, and the process repeats until the balance reaches zero. Use the Yearly view for a high-level summary and the Monthly view for the complete payment-by-payment schedule. For a $200,000 loan at 6% over 30 years, the first payment is $1,000 interest and $199.10 principal.

The payment is M = P · i(1 + i)^n / ((1 + i)^n − 1). Then for each month: interest = balance × i; principal = M − interest (+ any extra); balance = balance − principal, where i is the monthly rate and n is the number of payments. The schedule is computed on exact (unrounded) values, and the final payment is adjusted so the balance lands exactly on zero. Total interest is the sum of every month's interest.
Example calculation

A $200,000 loan at 6% over 30 years has a $1,199.10 monthly payment. In month one, interest is $200,000 × 0.005 = $1,000 and only $199.10 goes to principal; by the final payment almost all of it is principal. Across 360 payments you pay about $431,676, including roughly $231,676 of interest, and the balance reaches zero in month 360.

Assumptions

  • The interest rate is fixed for the whole term; the schedule does not model rate changes.
  • Interest is computed on the remaining balance each month, with no early rounding, so the final balance is exactly zero.
  • Any extra payment is applied to principal every month from the start; one-off extra payments are not modelled.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting equal interest and principal in every payment — early payments are mostly interest, which is why the schedule matters.
  • Underestimating how much an extra monthly payment helps; even a small extra amount cuts years and thousands in interest.
  • Treating the payment as the full housing cost; taxes and insurance are separate from the principal-and-interest schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the first payment almost all interest?

Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, which is largest at the start. As the balance falls, the interest portion shrinks and the principal portion grows, so later payments pay down far more principal.

How much does an extra payment save?

Adding extra principal each month shortens the term and cuts total interest. On a $200,000 loan at 6%, an extra $200 a month pays it off years early and saves tens of thousands in interest. Try it in the extra-payment field.

What is the difference between this and a mortgage payment calculator?

The mortgage payment calculator answers 'what is my monthly payment.' This page shows the full schedule behind that payment — every month's interest, principal, balance, and the payoff date.

Does the schedule include taxes and insurance?

No. It covers principal and interest only. Escrowed taxes and insurance are added by your lender on top of the scheduled payment.
