Understand Your Mortgage Payments and Loan Timeline

What is an Amortization Schedule?

An amortization schedule is a table that shows you how a loan is repaid in fixed monthly payments over time. Each payment includes a portion that goes toward the loan principal and a portion that covers interest. Over the life of the loan, the interest portion decreases while the principal portion increases.

This tool is especially useful when planning your mortgage payments, comparing loan options, or estimating how early repayments can save on interest. You can learn more about amortization from Investopedia.
