FAQs

Mortgage Amortization Calculator — frequently asked questions

Straight answers about taxes, PMI, extra payments, and biweekly schedules.

Why does most of my payment go to interest at first?+

Amortization front-loads interest because it is calculated on the remaining balance. As you pay down principal, the interest portion shrinks and the principal portion grows.

How do I use the yearly view for taxes?+

The yearly tab shows total interest paid per calendar year. Use it for mortgage interest deductions (if you itemize) and for tax planning.

Can I export the amortization table?+

The table is displayed on screen. You can screenshot or copy the data. Export features may be added in future updates.

How do extra payments change the amortization?+

Extra payments reduce the principal, which shortens the schedule and reduces future interest. The table updates to show the new payoff date.

Does the calculator include PMI in the schedule?+

Yes. When your down payment is below 20%, PMI is included until the balance reaches 80% of the original home price. The table shows when it drops off.
