To use our amortization schedule calculator, you will need a few pieces of information, including the principal balance for your mortgage, your annual interest rate, the term of the mortgage and your state of residency. You can also enter additional payments to see how this affects your overall mortgage length.
Even a single extra payment made each year can reduce the amount of interest and shorten the amortization, as long as the payment goes toward the principal and not the interest. Just make sure your lender processes the payment this way.
If you prepay your mortgage you reduce the principal balance, reducing the interest due next month and every month forward. If you prepay $1000 on your mortgage, the interest next month will be reduced by 10003.7%/12=3.08 You will still make the same payment, but an additional 3.083 will be credited toward principal.
