How it works

The tool amortises the loan month by month, charging interest on the outstanding balance and applying the rest of the payment to principal, then reports the first-year split, the halfway point and the lifetime interest.

Frequently asked questions

Why is early interest so high?

Interest is charged on the balance, which is at its largest at the start, so early payments are mostly interest.

Do extra payments help?

Enormously — anything above the scheduled payment goes straight to principal and removes all future interest on that amount.
