Frequently Asked Questions

What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule is a table detailing each periodic payment on an amortizing loan. It shows the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term.

How is monthly payment calculated?

The monthly payment is calculated using the formula: P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n – 1 ], where P is the principal, i is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of payments.

Can I use this for mortgages?

Yes, this tool is perfect for mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, and any other fixed-rate installment loans.

Does this account for taxes and insurance?

No, this calculator only handles principal and interest (P&I). It does not include escrow items like property taxes or homeowners insurance.

How do extra payments affect my schedule?

Extra payments reduce the principal balance directly, which in turn reduces the amount of interest calculated for all future periods, shortening the loan term.

What is the difference between principal and interest?

Principal is the original amount of money borrowed. Interest is the cost of borrowing that money, calculated as a percentage of the remaining principal.

Is my data saved on your servers?

No, this is a 100% client-side tool. All calculations happen in your browser, and your financial data is never sent to our servers.

Can I export my schedule?

Yes, you can export your generated payment schedule as both a high-quality PNG image or a professional PDF document.

What happens if I miss a payment?

A missed payment usually results in late fees and additional interest accrual. This calculator assumes all payments are made on time according to the schedule.

How accurate is this calculator?

Our calculator uses standard financial formulas. However, actual bank calculations may vary slightly due to different rounding methods or daily interest accrual rules.
