Reading the schedule
Each row shows the payment, the interest charged, the principal repaid, and the remaining balance. Early payments are usually mostly interest, so extra principal shifts the balance faster.
Enter the loan terms and any extra principal payments to see the full amortization table, how much interest the extra payments save, and when the loan is paid off.

Extra payments
One-off or recurring extra principal. The variant you pick drives the table, the payment breakdown, the yearly totals, and the exports, and what you enter here survives a change of the loan terms.
Uses the loan funding date and each scheduled payment date. Includes the amount received after upfront fees and all later payments. This estimate may differ from the APR disclosed by your lender. Methodology and limitations.

Each row shows the payment, the interest charged, the principal repaid, and the remaining balance. Early payments are usually mostly interest, so extra principal shifts the balance faster.
Extra principal reduces the balance immediately, so less interest accrues afterwards. You can keep the payment and shorten the term, or lower the payment instead — the calculator shows both.
The page opens with a $350,000 loan at 6.5% for 30 years and a single $200 extra payment in month 12. Because one payment of $200 barely moves a loan this size, the example below compares the same loan without any extra payment against $200 every month from payment 12, starting in January 2026.
Example dates start from January 2026. The calculator form above starts from the current month: the amounts do not change, only the payment dates shift.
Without the extra payment, principal would overtake interest only from payment 233.
Every row is the same annuity calculation: interest on the current balance, and the remainder reduces principal. The extra payment is applied to principal in the month you choose and the schedule is rebuilt from there.
No insurance, fees, rate changes or lender rounding. Payoff dates depend on the posting day the lender uses, so treat the date as an estimate.
These figures come from the same model as the calculator above — enter them and compare.
Each extra payment is applied to principal on the date you choose, and the schedule is rebuilt from that point.
It is an independent estimate. Lenders use their own posting dates, daily accrual, and rounding rules.
Yes. Add one-time or recurring extra payments and compare the interest saved and the new payoff date.
Only if you keep paying the same amount and shorten the term. If you lower the payment instead, the benefit spreads over the remaining months.
A one-off $200 on a $350,000 loan saves about $1,111 and leaves the term untouched; paying $200 every month from payment 12 saves about $100,206 and ends the loan 70 payments earlier.
