An amortization schedule shows how each payment is divided between interest and principal. This helps explain why early payments often reduce the principal slowly.

How the Amortization Calculator works
Amortization is the process of paying off a loan with level payments where the split between interest and principal shifts over time. An amortization schedule shows, month by month, how much of each payment is interest, how much reduces the balance, and what you still owe.
Formula
Payment = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1]; Interestₖ = Balanceₖ × r
The level payment comes from the standard formula; each month's interest is the current balance times the monthly rate r, and the rest of the payment reduces the principal. The balance carried forward feeds into the next month's interest.
Worked example: first month of a $200,000 loan at 6% for 30 years
Monthly rate r = 0.06 ÷ 12 = 0.005; n = 360; level payment ≈ $1,199.
Month 1 interest = 200,000 × 0.005 = $1,000.
Month 1 principal = 1,199 − 1,000 = $199, leaving a balance of $199,801.
Month 2 interest = 199,801 × 0.005 ≈ $999, so the principal share rises slightly — and keeps rising every month.
How to read the result
The schedule reveals the 'interest front-loading' of loans: in the early years most of your payment is interest. That's why making extra principal payments early, or refinancing sooner rather than later, has an outsized effect.
Common mistakes to avoid
Expecting the balance to drop in a straight line — it falls slowly at first, then accelerates.
Assuming extra payments are applied to principal automatically; tell your lender to do so.
Overlooking that escrow (tax/insurance) is on top of the principal-and-interest payment.
Tips
Apply windfalls to principal early in the loan, where they cancel the most future interest.
Export the schedule to plan exactly when extra payments will retire the loan.

Early payments are mostly interest because interest is charged on a large outstanding balance. As the balance drops, more of each payment goes to principal and it falls faster.
An extra principal payment immediately lowers the balance, so every future interest charge is smaller. This shortens the loan and reduces total interest.
Escrow collects property tax and insurance alongside your payment. This schedule shows principal and interest only; escrow is an additional amount your lender adds.
