Understanding Loan Amortization
Loan amortization is the process of paying off a loan over time through regular payments. Each payment typically includes a portion of the principal (the original loan amount) and a portion of the interest (the cost of borrowing the money).
Loan Amortization Formula
The formula to calculate the monthly payment (M) is: M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n – 1 ] Where: P = Principal loan amount i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years * 12)
Understanding the Amortization Schedule
The amortization schedule shows how each payment is allocated between principal and interest over the life of the loan. In the early years, a larger portion of the payment goes towards interest, and as the loan is paid down, a larger portion goes towards principal.
