Worked example

Using the same $20,000, 6.5%, 5-year monthly loan as the loan calculator, each row of the schedule applies interest to the current balance, then allocates the rest of the ~$391 payment to principal. Early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal.

FAQ

Why does interest fall each period?

Interest is charged on the remaining balance. As principal declines, the interest portion of the fixed payment shrinks.

Assumptions and limitations
