Amortization Schedule

Amortization Schedule

To make your own amortization schedule, you have to have your interest rate, monthly payment and the remaining principal value. You take your interest rate and multiply it by the remaining principal value. You take this number and divide it by 12 as you are using a yearly interest rate, the result is the interest portion of the monthly payment. Subtract the interest portion from the total monthly payment to get the principal portion. Subtract the principal portion from the remaining principal value and you begin the process over again until you have no principal remaining.Initially, the majority of your monthly mortgage payment goes towards interest. In fact, the majority of your payment doesn’t start going towards principal until year 19! The total amount paid in interest and principal after 30 years is $488,303.12. $262,067.12 went towards interest and $226,236.00 went towards principal. If you do not make extra payments towards principal and pay according to the amortization schedule you end up paying 2.16 times the original borrowed value.
