FAQ
What is loan amortization?
Amortization is the process of paying off a loan with fixed monthly payments, where early payments are mostly interest and later payments are mostly principal.
How is the monthly payment calculated?
The payment comes from the standard annuity formula that discounts all future payments back to the loan amount at the monthly interest rate.
How can I reduce total interest?
Shorten the term, negotiate a lower rate, or add extra principal payments each month — even small extras early in the loan save a lot.
