Interpretation
Planning context for the estimates above. Not tax, legal, or investment advice.
On a $320,000 loan at 6.75% APR over 30 years, your scheduled payment is $2,075.51 per month before any extras. Over the full payoff you pay about $427,185 in interest — that's the cost of borrowing, separate from taxes or insurance.
In the first 12 payments, about $3,410 goes to principal and $21,496 to interest — typical when the balance is still high.
Use the schedule below to see exactly when your balance crosses a target you care about (for example, 78% LTV for PMI removal on some mortgages — though PMI itself is not modeled here).
Methodology
The rules and math behind this estimate.
We compute the fully amortizing fixed monthly payment so the loan would reach a zero balance at the end of the original term, using monthly compounding (APR divided by 12). Each period, interest accrues on the beginning balance; the remainder of the scheduled payment applies to principal.
Any extra principal you enter is applied after that split, which reduces the balance faster and can end the loan before the original maturity. This is a planning model only — it does not include lender rounding, per-diem interest, or fees.
Straight answers to common questions about this calculator.
With a typical fixed loan, you pay the same amount each month. Early on, more goes to interest. Later, more goes to paying down what you owe.
The lender uses your loan amount, interest rate, and number of months. This tool uses the same standard math for a fixed-rate loan.

Yes. Paying extra toward principal cuts what you owe faster, which means less interest later and possibly an earlier payoff date.
