Frequently Asked Questions
What is amortization?
Amortization refers to the process of paying off a debt over time through regular payments. An amortization schedule shows how each payment is split between interest and principal reduction.
How is the monthly payment calculated?
The monthly payment is calculated using the formula: PMT = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1], where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of payments.
Does this calculator account for taxes and insurance?
No, this calculator only estimates the loan payment based on principal and interest. For mortgages, you should add property taxes, homeowners insurance, and possibly PMI to get your total monthly payment.
Can I use this calculator for variable rate loans?
This calculator assumes a fixed interest rate throughout the loan term. For variable rate loans, the results will only be accurate until the rate changes.
