Month-by-month breakdown

Amortization Calculator

Amortization is the schedule that turns one big loan into a fixed monthly payment. Early on, most of each payment is interest; over time the balance tips toward principal. This calculator builds the full table for your loan and marks the crossover point where equity starts winning.

How it works

The same payment, a shifting split

With a fixed-rate loan your payment never changes, but what it buys does. Interest is charged on the balance you still owe, so when the balance is large, the interest slice is large. Each month you chip a little off the principal, the next month's interest is slightly smaller, and a little more of your fixed payment goes to principal. That compounding shift is amortization.

The crossover point, where principal finally exceeds interest in a single payment, usually lands around the halfway mark on a 30-year loan at today's rates. The chart above marks it for your numbers.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked

Why is so much of my early payment interest?
Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, which is at its largest right after closing. As you pay the balance down, the interest portion of each payment shrinks and the principal portion grows.
What is the crossover point?
It is the first month where more of your payment goes to principal than to interest. On a 30-year loan at current rates it typically arrives somewhere around years 17 to 20, earlier if the rate is lower.
Can I download the schedule?
Yes. Use the CSV button for a spreadsheet-ready file, or Print for a PDF. Both are produced locally in your browser.
Do extra payments change the schedule?
Significantly. Any extra goes straight to principal, which shortens the schedule and cuts total interest. Add an amount under 'Pay it off faster' to see the new table.
