Amortization Schedule Calculator: Take Control of Your Loan

Our amortization schedule calculator helps you generate a detailed repayment plan for a loan. You enter the loan amount, annual interest rate, number of payments, and choose a payment frequency—such as monthly, biweekly, weekly, quarterly, or annually. In response, it produces a full payment schedule, breaking each installment into its interest and principal portions and showing the remaining balance after each payment.

This tool supports clear budgeting and helps users see how fast their loan is paid off and how interest decreases over time.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Enter Loan Details

• Loan amount: total principal borrowed (e.g. ₱500,000)
• Annual interest rate: lender’s nominal rate, in percentage (e.g. 6.5%)
• Number of payments: total periods (e.g. 60 payments for a 5‑year term if monthly)

Step 2: Select Payment Frequency

Choose one of the following:

• Monthly
• Biweekly
• Weekly
• Quarterly
• Annually

Frequency affects how often payments are made and how interest is allocated.

Step 3: Calculate Schedule

Once inputs are submitted, the calculator generates:

• Recurring payment amount
• Breakdown of each payment: interest vs. principal
• Remaining loan balance after each payment
• Summary totals (e.g. total interest paid, payoff date)

Reading and Using the Results

The amortization schedule typically includes a table listing each payment number or date and columns for:

• Payment amount
• Interest portion
• Principal portion
• Remaining balance

Early in the loan, most of your payment covers interest. Over time, more goes toward principal. The schedule also often shows annual or monthly summaries, including total interest paid and outstanding balance, helping with financial planning and forecasting.

Benefits of Using This Calculator

• Budget transparency: know exactly when and how much you'll pay
• Interest awareness: see how interest declines over time
• Planning flexibility: compare different payment frequencies
• Progress tracking: monitor how much principal remains after each period

Many tools let you export the schedule as a PDF, Excel, or CSV file for easy review.

Tips & Best Practices

• Check compounding assumptions: usually matched to payment frequency
• Expect minor rounding on final payment
• Consider biweekly payments: can save on interest
• Simulate early/extra payments if the tool supports it
• Export and store schedules for records or presentations

Summary

• Input loan details and select your preferred payment frequency
• Generate a detailed schedule showing each payment’s breakdown
• Use the results to manage your budget, track payoff progress, and explore ways to save on interest
• Download or print your schedule for long-term financial planning
