How Mortgage Amortization Works

Every mortgage payment splits between interest (calculated on the remaining balance) and principal (reducing what you owe). Early in the loan, most of each payment is interest — a $2,200/month payment on a 30-year loan might send only $450 to principal in month one. As the balance falls over time, the interest share shrinks and principal share grows. Extra payments go 100% to principal, dramatically accelerating equity growth and shortening the payoff date.

Tips & Insights

  • $200/month extra on a $350,000 loan at 7% saves over $70,000 in total interest and cuts roughly 6 years off a 30-year loan.
  • Making 13 payments per year instead of 12 (one extra full annual payment) shortens a 30-year loan to roughly 25 years.
  • Extra payments also accelerate your PMI drop-off date. Each extra dollar of principal brings your 80% equity threshold closer.
  • The highlighted row in the payment table is your PMI drop-off month — scan it to see the exact balance and cumulative interest paid at that point.

Common Questions

When do extra payments help the most?

In the earliest years, when your balance is highest and interest charges are largest. An extra $1,000 in month 1 saves significantly more interest than the same amount in year 25, because it eliminates interest that would have compounded for decades.

Can I make a one-time lump sum payment instead of monthly extras?

Most mortgages allow prepayment with no penalty — confirm with your lender. To model a lump sum, convert it to a monthly equivalent. For example, a $6,000 annual bonus paid each spring is approximately $500/month in this calculator.

What is PMI and exactly when does it drop off?

PMI is required when your down payment is below 20%. By federal law, lenders must automatically cancel it when your loan balance falls to 80% of the original purchase price (not the current appraised value). The exact month is shown in the Summary card above.
