What Is an Amortization Schedule? Mapping Out Your Mortgage Payments

What is an amortization schedule? When you borrow money to buy a home, one of the documents you’ll see is an amortization schedule provided by your mortgage lender who could be a retail bank, a mortgage bank, a mortgage broker, or other lender. The word “amortization” refers to the repayment of a debt through regular payments until the loan is paid off in full.

What is an amortization schedule?

In essence, an amortization schedule outlines your loan payments each month and helps keep you on track.

When you take out a fixed-rate mortgage—whether it’s for 30 years or any other term—your lender calculates an amortization schedule based on the beginning balance, interest rate, and number of payments that shows your payment for each month of your loan.

The schedule shows your interest calculation and how the payment is divided into principal and interest, so you know how much of each you pay each month. It also calculates the outstanding balance of your loan as you progress through the loan term.

You can view your amortization table on a monthly or yearly basis. In the early years of your mortgage, the schedule shows that your monthly payment is almost entirely interest. The higher your interest rate, the more interest expense you pay with each monthly payment. Gradually that shifts due to amortization—lowering of the balance by periodic payments. By the end of your loan schedule, the calculator shows your payments going almost entirely to pay down your principal.

Thinking about refinancing your loan?

When you make your first payments on a home, you may not pay attention to your balance or how your payments are split. You may be happy to be in a home and keeping up with the payments.

After you’ve owned your property and made payments for a few years, though, you may be thinking about refinancing or selling. In that case, you’ll need to know your balance so you can estimate your home equity. You can find this information on the amortization schedule calculator, or on your latest mortgage statement.

If you decide to refinance, remember if you switch from one 30-year loan to another, you’re restarting the interest clock and could end up paying more over time, even with a lower rate. For example, if you get a new loan after seven years of payments into a new 30-year loan, you’ll be paying interest on your home for a total of 37 years, between the two loans. It may be worth it, however, if you qualify for a lower interest rate.

Paying down your principal loan balance

Another reason to pay attention to your amortization table—and to use an amortization calculator—is you can easily see the benefit of making extra payments to reduce the principal balance on your loan. While your monthly payments won’t change unless you start over with a new loan, you can pay off your loan early by making additional payments.

In fact, you can use amortization to your advantage to save money and pay off your loan faster. If you make an additional loan payment of $1,000, for example, a calculator will show you that it saves you more than $1,000 over the life of the loan. That’s because the additional payment helps you amortize your loan faster; in other words, lower the balance and thus save on interest expense.

Here are three ways to pay down your balance faster:

  • A little extra each month: Round up your payment and designate it to pay down your principal.
  • A lump sum payment: If you get a windfall, bonus, or tax refund, use it to pay down your balance.
  • Biweekly payments: By paying half of your mortgage every two weeks, you end up making one extra month’s payment each year.

You can try different scenarios on a calculator to see how even small, regular additional amounts can speed amortization of your loan along.

Regardless of how you make extra payments on your amortizing loan, make sure your lender applies the payment to the principal amount, if your goals are to decrease total interest expense and shorten the effective term of the loan.

Study your amortization schedule when you get it to see if you can accelerate your loan payoff date.
