FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Loan Amortization

Find answers to common questions about loan amortization and repayment schedules:

What is loan amortization?

Loan amortization is the process of paying off a loan over time through regular payments. Each payment covers both interest and principal, with a greater portion going toward interest in the early years.

What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule is a table showing each payment of a loan, detailing how much goes toward principal and interest, and the remaining balance after each payment.

Why do I pay more interest at the beginning?

In the early years of a loan, the outstanding balance is highest, so interest accrues more quickly. As you pay down the principal, the interest portion decreases.

How do extra payments affect my loan?

Extra payments go directly toward reducing your principal balance, which reduces total interest paid and can shorten your loan term significantly.
