Mortgage Amortization Calculator – Calculate Your Home Loan Payment Schedule

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments most people make. This Mortgage Amortization Calculator helps you understand exactly how your mortgage is repaid over time by generating a detailed payment schedule. You'll see how much of each payment goes toward reducing your loan balance and how much is paid as interest, giving you a clearer picture of the true cost of your mortgage.

See Where Your Mortgage Payments Go

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that the first years of a mortgage are heavily weighted toward interest payments. This calculator shows how that balance gradually shifts as your loan matures. It also lets you experiment with additional monthly payments so you can estimate how much sooner you could become mortgage-free.

Example: If you borrow $350,000 over 30 years at a 6.25% interest rate, adding an extra $150 per month could reduce your total interest costs and shorten the repayment period by several years.

How to Calculate Your Mortgage Schedule

  1. Enter the purchase price of your property.
  2. Provide your down payment to calculate the remaining loan amount.
  3. Input your annual mortgage interest rate.
  4. Select the loan duration, such as 15, 20, or 30 years.
  5. Optionally enter an extra monthly payment to compare different payoff scenarios.
  6. Click Calculate Amortization to generate your payment schedule and loan summary.

What This Mortgage Calculator Includes

  • Detailed Payment Schedule: Review every payment over the life of your mortgage.
  • Principal vs. Interest Breakdown: See exactly how each payment is divided.
  • Extra Payment Comparison: Measure how additional monthly payments affect your payoff date.
  • Interactive Charts: Visualize your remaining balance and total interest paid over time.
  • CSV Export: Download your amortization schedule for Excel or Google Sheets.

Important Assumptions

This calculator estimates payments using a fixed interest rate throughout the loan term. It does not automatically include property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA fees, mortgage insurance (PMI), or lender-specific charges. If you have an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), your future payments may differ from the estimates shown here.

Ways to Save on Your Mortgage

Even small extra payments can make a noticeable difference over the life of your loan. Before increasing your payments, confirm that your lender applies additional funds directly to the principal and does not charge prepayment penalties. Comparing a 15-year and 30-year mortgage within the calculator can also help you understand the trade-off between lower monthly payments and long-term interest costs.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

How do I calculate my monthly mortgage amortization payment-
To calculate your monthly amortization payment, use the fixed-rate formula: M = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]. For example, on a $300,000 loan balance with a 6.0% interest rate (0.005 monthly rate) over 30 years (360 monthly payments), your monthly principal and interest payment would be exactly $1,798.65.
What is mortgage amortization and why does it matter-
Mortgage amortization is the process of spreading out loan payments over a set period. It matters because early in the schedule, up to 80% of your payment goes toward interest. Understanding this helps you plan extra payments to reduce your principal faster.
When should I use a 15-year term instead of a 30-year term-
You should choose a 15-year mortgage term if you can afford higher monthly payments. For a $300,000 loan at 6.0%, a 15-year term increases your payment to $2,531.57, but saves you over $191,000 in lifetime interest compared to a 30-year term.
What is the difference between principal and interest-
Principal is the actual amount of money borrowed from the lender (e.g., $350,000). Interest is the fee charged by the lender for borrowing those funds. Amortization schedules show exactly how each monthly payment is divided between these two portions.
Why does my amortization schedule show high interest in early years-
Interest is calculated based on your remaining loan balance. In the first year of a $400,000 mortgage at 6.5%, you owe interest on almost the full $400,000. As you pay down the principal over 15 to 20 years, the outstanding balance shrinks, decreasing the monthly interest charge.
