Frequently Asked Questions
What is an amortization schedule?
A table showing each loan payment breakdown: how much goes to principal vs. interest, and the remaining balance. Early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal. Shows full loan lifecycle.
How can I pay off my loan faster?
Make extra principal payments, switch to bi-weekly payments (1 extra payment/year), or refinance to shorter term. Even $50-100 extra monthly can save thousands in interest and shave years off mortgage.
What's the difference between APR and interest rate?
Interest rate is the cost of borrowing principal. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes interest plus fees (origination, closing costs, PMI). APR is higher and more accurate for comparing total loan costs.
Why is so much interest paid early in the loan?
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance. Early on, balance is highest, so interest portion is large. As you pay down principal, interest decreases and principal portion increases. Standard for amortizing loans.
