Generation

An amortization schedule is a table that shows exactly how you'll pay off a loan over time, breaking down each payment into principal (the actual loan amount) and interest. Early in the loan, most of your payment goes toward interest, but as time goes on, more goes toward paying down the principal. For example, on a 30-year mortgage, your first payment might be 80% interest and 20% principal, but by year 20, those proportions flip. This schedule helps you see the total interest you'll pay and how much you'll owe at any point in the loan's life.
