Worked examples
Concrete numbers and cases you can check against the tool above.
First months of a $250,000 30-year loan at 6%
Payment is about $1,499. Early months are interest-heavy: month 1 might apply ~$1,250 to interest and ~$249 to principal. By the last years that ratio flips. Export CSV if you want to chart remaining balance in a spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do early payments go mostly to interest?
- That is normal amortization: interest is charged on the remaining balance, which is highest at the start.
- Can I model extra payments?
- If the tool includes extra-payment fields, enter them; otherwise the schedule reflects the standard payment only.
- Is the CSV uploaded?
- No. It is generated in your browser for download.
