Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the amortization calculations?
Our calculator uses industry-standard amortization formulas and provides highly accurate results suitable for financial planning and loan analysis.
What's the difference between principal and interest?
Principal is the amount you borrowed, while interest is the cost of borrowing. Early in the loan, most payments go toward interest. Later, more goes toward principal.
How do extra payments affect my loan?
Extra payments reduce the principal balance faster, which decreases the total interest paid and can shorten the loan term significantly.
Should I make extra payments or invest the money?
Compare your loan interest rate to potential investment returns. If you can earn more investing than your loan rate, investing may be better. Otherwise, pay down the loan.
What's the difference between bi-weekly and monthly payments?
Bi-weekly payments (every two weeks) result in 26 payments per year instead of 12, which can save significant interest and pay off your loan faster.
