Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an amortization schedule? An amortization schedule is a table of loan payments detailing each payment’s interest and principal portions, and the remaining loan balance.
How does the interest rate affect the loan? A higher interest rate will increase the monthly payment and total loan cost, as more money goes toward paying off the interest.
Can I pay off my loan early? Yes, paying extra on the loan can reduce the principal, thus reducing the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
