Use this tool to generate a schedule for any fixed-rate loan, add optional extra payments and export the whole table as a CSV file for a spreadsheet, an accountant or your own records.
Each month, interest is charged on the outstanding balance at one twelfth of the annual rate. The scheduled payment is fixed, so the interest is subtracted first and everything left over reduces the principal.
That is why the interest column shrinks and the principal column grows from row to row even though the payment never changes.
Every extra dollar of principal removes all future interest on that dollar. Adding a modest monthly extra at the start of a 30-year loan typically removes years from the term, and the schedule shortens at the end rather than the beginning.
The calculator applies extra payments after the scheduled payment each month, so the balance falls sooner and the loan finishes earlier.
Each example below was run through the calculator on this page when the site was built, so the numbers match what you see when you enter the same inputs.
Scheduled monthly payment
$2,022.62
360 payments on $320,000 at 6.5%. The balance reaches zero in Aug 2056.
The first year sends almost two thirds of every payment to interest.
Payoff time with extra payments
22 years 3 months
Paying $250.00 extra per month clears the loan in Nov 2048.
A small recurring extra payment pulls years off the end of the schedule.
Scheduled monthly payment
$480.49
36 payments on $15,000 at 9.5%. The balance reaches zero in Aug 2029.
Short schedules barely amortize: principal falls quickly from the first payment.
Amortization is the process of paying off a debt with regular payments that cover both interest and principal. The loan is fully amortized when the final scheduled payment clears the remaining balance.
Because interest is charged on the balance, and the balance is largest at the start. On a $320,000 loan at 6.5%, month one charges about $1,733 of interest, so only a small part of a $2,023 payment touches the principal. The pattern flips in the second half of the term.
It depends on when you pay it. Extra principal early in the loan saves interest for every remaining month, so it is worth far more in year one than in year twenty. The mortgage payoff calculator quantifies the saving for a given extra amount.
The maths is the same, but real statements can differ slightly because of payment timing, escrow amounts, rounding conventions and fees. Use this schedule to understand the shape of the loan, and the lender statement for the exact figures.
Yes. Press the download button under the results to save a CSV containing payment number, month, payment, interest, principal, extra principal and remaining balance. It opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.
Not directly. A biweekly plan makes 26 half-payments a year, which is equivalent to 13 monthly payments. Set the extra payment to one twelfth of your monthly payment to model the same effect on this monthly schedule.
