Mortgage Amortization Calculator

See how a fixed mortgage shifts from mostly interest to mostly principal over time.

How the estimate works

Each month applies interest to the outstanding balance, then subtracts the scheduled payment and any extra principal.

Worked example

Example: on a $400,000, 30-year loan at 6.5%, the first payment is mostly interest. The annual table shows how principal reduction accelerates later in the term.

Important limitation
