Frequently Asked Questions
How are loan payments calculated?
Monthly payment is calculated using principal, interest rate, and term. The formula accounts for compound interest on the declining balance.
What is amortization?
Amortization shows how each payment splits between principal and interest over time. Early payments are mostly interest.
How does extra payment help?
Extra payments reduce principal faster, saving interest and shortening the loan term. Even small extra amounts make a difference.
What is APR vs interest rate?
APR includes fees and points, showing true borrowing cost. Interest rate is just the cost of borrowing the principal.
