What is Amortization?

Amortization represents an accounting method employed to gradually reduce the recorded value of a loan or an intangible asset within a predetermined timeframe. In the context of a loan, the amortization refers to the process of paying off debt over time in regular installments of interest and principal sufficient to repay the loan in full by its maturity date.

Amortization of Loans:

An important application of compound interest involves loans that are paid off in installments over time. Examples of such loans are automobile loans, home mortgage loans, student loans, and many business loans. A loan that is to be repaid in equal amounts on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis is called an amortized loan.

Amortization Schedule:

An amortization schedule provides a comprehensive breakdown of each monthly payment,detailing the allocation between principal and interest components. Furthermore, it can illustrateDescription the cumulative interest paid up to a specific juncture over the loan's duration, as well as project the outstanding principal balance at any given moment.

How to Use Amortization Calculator:

Let's assume that a homeowner wants to borrow $200,000.00 on a mortgage loan, and the loan is to be repaid in 15 years with equal monthly payments. The lender is going to charge 2% interest on the balance at the beginning of each month. Our first task is to determine the payment the homeowner must make each month. This monthly payment must be equal throughout the loan term. Here is how you can use this calculator.

Loan Amount:

Enter the loan amount as $200,000.00 that you wish to borrow. Your entered number has to be greater than $0.

Loan Term:

The loan term entered is 15 years during which you will pay off the loan completely. You are allowed to enter a minimum value of 1 year and a maximum value of 100 years.

Yearly Interest Rate:

Enter the yearly interest rate that your lender is going to charge you for the borrowed money as 2%. Your input should be any number between 0% and 99.999%.

Result:

Once you have entered all the numbers as stated above, click on the "Calculate" button. The calculator will show a monthly payment of $1,287.02. To pay off the loan completely, you are going to make a total payment (180 monthly payments of equal amount) of $231,663.13, out of which $31,663.13 is the total interest payment.

The calculator will also show you the downloadable amortization schedule for monthly and yearly loan repayment. The monthly amortization schedule will show that your first monthly payment of $1,287.02 will consist of $953.68 in principal and $333.33 in interest. Your final monthly payment after 15 years monthly payments will have approximately $231,663.13 going toward interest, with the remainder paying off the last of your principal balance. This last payment will get you out of debt completely.
