Amortization Schedule

Generate a full amortization schedule with monthly breakdown of principal and interest.

Free Mortgage Amortization Calculator – Full Payment Schedule Online

A mortgage amortization schedule breaks down every monthly payment into principal and interest components over the entire life of your loan. Understanding this schedule is crucial for homebuyers and homeowners who want to see exactly where their money goes each month and how their loan balance decreases over time.

Our free mortgage amortization calculator instantly generates a complete month-by-month breakdown. Simply enter your loan amount, annual interest rate, and loan term in years. The calculator uses the standard amortization formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1], where M is the monthly payment, P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of payments.

In the early years of a mortgage, a larger portion of each payment goes toward interest. As the loan matures, more of each payment is applied to the principal. This is why making extra principal payments early in the loan term can significantly reduce the total interest paid and shorten the loan duration.

Whether you are comparing 15-year vs 30-year mortgages, evaluating refinancing options, or simply planning your household budget, our amortization calculator provides the detailed financial picture you need. All calculations are performed locally in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

FAQ

What is mortgage amortization?+
Mortgage amortization is the process of paying off a home loan through regular monthly payments that include both principal (the amount borrowed) and interest. Over time, the proportion of each payment that goes to principal increases while the interest portion decreases.
Why do I pay more interest at the beginning of my mortgage?+
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance. At the start, your balance is highest, so the interest portion is largest. As you pay down the principal, less interest accrues each month, and more of your payment goes toward reducing the balance.
How can I pay off my mortgage faster?+
You can pay off your mortgage faster by making extra principal payments, switching to bi-weekly payments (which adds one extra payment per year), or refinancing to a shorter loan term. Even small additional payments can save thousands in interest over the life of the loan.
What is the difference between a 15-year and 30-year mortgage?+
A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but a lower interest rate and far less total interest paid. A 30-year mortgage offers lower monthly payments but costs significantly more in total interest. For example, on a $300,000 loan, a 30-year mortgage at 6.5% costs about $382,000 in interest, while a 15-year at 5.8% costs about $147,000.
Does this calculator include taxes and insurance?+
This calculator computes principal and interest only. Your actual monthly mortgage payment may also include property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and possibly private mortgage insurance (PMI). These additional costs are typically collected in an escrow account by your lender.
