Understanding Loan Amortization
Loan amortization is the process of paying off a loan over time through regular payments. Each payment covers both interest charges and principal reduction. In the early years, most of your payment goes toward interest, while in later years, more goes toward reducing the principal balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between fixed and variable rate loans?
Fixed rate loans maintain the same interest rate throughout the entire loan term, providing predictable monthly payments. Variable rate loans have interest rates that can change based on market conditions, which means your payments could increase or decrease over time.
How does loan term affect my payments?
Longer loan terms result in lower monthly payments but higher total interest costs over the life of the loan. Shorter terms have higher monthly payments but significantly reduce the total interest paid. Choose based on your budget and financial goals.
What is an amortization schedule?
An amortization schedule shows the breakdown of each payment into principal and interest components over the life of the loan. It helps you see how much of your payment is reducing the loan balance versus paying interest charges at different stages of the loan.
