Amortization Schedule Calculator

Use our free Amortization Schedule Calculator to quickly estimate monthly loan payments and view a full breakdown of principal vs. interest over the loan term. Perfect for borrowers, homeowners, and financial planners.

Amortization Formula

Monthly Payment = P × [ r(1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n − 1) ]\n\nWhere:\nP = loan amount (principal)\nr = monthly interest rate (APR ÷ 12)\nn = total number of payments (months)
Example:
Loan Amount = $250,000; APR = 5%; Term = 30 years (360 months)\nr = 0.05 ÷ 12 = 0.004167\nMonthly Payment = 250,000 × [0.004167(1.004167^360) ÷ (1.004167^360 − 1)] ≈ $1,342\n\nOver 30 years:\nTotal Paid ≈ $483,000\nInterest Paid ≈ $233,000\nPrincipal Paid = $250,000

Amortization schedules show you how much of each payment goes to principal vs. interest, and how extra payments shorten your loan term.
