How to Use the Amortization Calculator
Enter the loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and start date. The calculator instantly generates your monthly payment, total interest, and a complete year-by-year amortization schedule showing principal vs interest breakdown for each year.
Amortization Formula
M = P × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n − 1]
Each payment splits into interest (current balance × monthly rate) and principal (payment − interest). As the balance decreases, more of each payment goes toward principal — this is amortization in action.
