Frequently Asked Questions
What is loan amortization?
Amortization is the process of paying off a loan through regular payments over time. Each payment covers both principal (the original amount borrowed) and interest. Early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal as the balance decreases.
How much can I save with extra payments?
Even small extra payments can save thousands of dollars in interest and shorten your loan by years. For example, an extra $100/month on a $300,000 30-year mortgage at 6.5% saves over $60,000 in interest and pays off the loan 7 years earlier.
Biweekly vs. monthly payments — which is better?
Biweekly payments (every 2 weeks) result in 26 half-payments per year, equivalent to 13 full monthly payments instead of 12. This one extra payment per year can cut years off your loan term. Select "Biweekly (26/year)" above to see the difference.
Should I pay off my loan early or invest?
Compare your loan interest rate to expected investment returns. If your loan rate is 6% and you expect 7% investment returns, investing may be mathematically better — but paying off debt is risk-free. Many people do both: make some extra payments while also investing.
