Understanding Amortization
Amortization is the process of spreading out a loan into a series of fixed payments over time. Each payment covers both interest expense and reduction of the loan balance (principal).
How Amortization Works
In the early years of your loan, a larger portion of each payment goes toward interest because the outstanding balance is high. As you pay down the principal, the interest portion decreases and the principal portion increases.
Benefits of Understanding Amortization
- Plan prepayments to maximize interest savings
- Understand the true cost of your loan
- Track your loan progress over time
- Make informed decisions about balance transfer
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an amortization schedule?
An amortization schedule is a complete table showing each periodic payment on a loan over time. It breaks down how much of each payment goes toward principal and interest.
Why should I review my amortization schedule?
Reviewing your amortization schedule helps you understand how your loan progresses, plan prepayments strategically, and see the impact of interest over the loan tenure.
How does the principal and interest split change over time?
In the early years, more of your EMI goes toward interest. As time progresses, more goes toward principal. This is because interest is calculated on the remaining outstanding balance.
