Understanding Amortization

  • • Early payments are mostly interest
  • • Principal portion increases over time
  • • Total payment stays the same (fixed-rate loans)
  • • Extra principal reduces total interest paid
  • • Shorter terms mean higher payments but less interest

Money-Saving Tips

  • • Make extra principal payments when possible
  • • Consider bi-weekly payments (26 per year)
  • • Round up your payment to the nearest $50 or $100
  • • Apply windfalls (bonuses, tax refunds) to principal
  • • Refinance if rates drop significantly
