Amortization is a means of paying off the principal loan sum
plus interest over a fixed period of time, so that by the end of the term, the
principal is eliminated. The Amortization Calculator will help you determine
what your payments will be over time.
thanks, It helped to figure some quick rough numbers on a possible opportunity. EDITOR'S COMMMENT: Thank you, Marty. We wish you success in your pursuit!

This was good to check on payments but I was looking for the Amortization per month. I would like to know what my principal balance would be each month if I pay down the principal with each payment. EDITOR'S COMMENTS: Sorry, Mindy. We offer our calculators to other websites at no charge, and so we've standardized each of our calculators to the same small, consistent size. Unfortunately, we can't fit a full amortization schedule in there. So, this is something we may offer in the future, but it's not something we're working on at present.

Can you modify site to also include payment amount - then a person could plug in 3 lines and it would compute and tell you the 4th (or missing one)? Example: If I had the loan amount, interest rate and payment amount, it would calculate the repayment period. EDITOR'S COMMENTS: Great suggestion. We'll take a look at this idea in more detail. We want the calculators to be very easy to use with little to no instruction. In this case, people might naturally think they need to fill in all four fields. But I think there is value in helping people determine either the payment amount OR the repayment period, as you have suggested. We'll explore ways to accommodate that. Thank you for sharing!

I am interested in seeing an amortization schedule on a car loan. EDITOR'S REPLY: Good suggestion - but we've devoted this site to mortgage calculators only. Try www.autosite.com (no affiliation). You should find a link to their car loan calculator toward the bottom of their home page under "Car Financing".

is there a amortization calculator that allows a change 5 years into a 15 year loan. I want to be able to add more to the principle and look at an amortization schedule.5a
EDITOR'S REPLY: You can use the Early Payment Calculator.
Reference: http://www.calculators4mortgages.com/calculators/loan/prepay.html.
It will help, though we don't provide a full amortization schedule. Enter the current term of 15 years and indicate that you are 60 months into the loan. This gives you a natural "new term" of 10 (years). Enter 9 as the new term to determine how much extra you'd need to pay every month to pay off the loan 1 year early. Or enter 6 to see how to pay off the loan four years early, etc.

I am trying to figure out how long it will take me to pay off the the remaining balance of 102,000, 6% current payment 775.00 per month if I pay an additional $500 permonth towards my loan. I guess I am obtuse but I cant seem to get it

Is it possible to enter the number of months you want to pay and see how much your payment each month would be based upon a principal and an Interest rate?
EDITOR'S REPLY: You can do this by adjusting the repayment period. Just convert your months to years. For example, 42 months should be entered as 3.5 years.

where can i find the sliding scale calculator that American Morgage use to have?
You simply enter loan amount, term, interest rate with a sliding scale to the left of the box.
It truly is many mortgage calculators "all in one". There is no need at all to use separate fill in the box type calculators, this one tells everything you need to know.
