Payment Amortization Calculator
Calculate your monthly payment for fixed rate or adjustable rate loans.
Simply put, amortization is a way to pay back a loan. To understand amortization for your loan, you need to know about the interest vs. principal portions of the mortgage bill, the interest rate on the loan, and the timespan of the loan.
Your interest rate is how much interest you will pay the bank over the entire lifetime of your loan. Your interest rate is based upon your credit score and how many quarters of interest points you can buy when you close on your mortgage.
Interest is money paid to the lender for the use of their money and principal is the part of the payment that goes to pay for the house itself. The timespan of your loan will likely be 15, 20, or 30 years. The longer the loan period extends, the more interest you will pay.
