Fortunately, Excel can be used to create an amortization schedule. The amortization schedule template below can be used for a variable number of periods, as well as extra payments and variable interest rates.
You can ask your lender for an amortization schedule, but this might not be as helpful if you're looking to see how extra payments could impact that schedule.
Amortization and compound interest are two different ways to calculate interest. Amortization is usually for medium-term financings, such as auto loans. Compound interest is typically for much longer loans, like a 30-year mortgage (it's also possible to get an amortizing or simple interest mortgage).
