Payment Amortization Calculator – The Facts

A payment amortization calculator is something that people will use in order to determine what the periodic payment will be on a loan and in most cases a mortgage loan. This calculation is based on the amortization process and will factor in various different figures such as the interest and principal payments to be made on every repayment even though the total amount of each repayment is the same.

By using a payment amortization calculator you will be able to discover what the exact amount is that goes towards the interest repayments and what amount goes towards the principal balance payments in each payment that you make. Whilst the calculation to be arrived at for the periodic payments (monthly) will assume that the first payment you are due to make on the loan will not be happen until one month after the loan was actually taken out. So if your loan was taken out on say the 1st January 2007 then the payment amortization calculator will schedule your payments to commence on the 1st February 2007.

Also this particular calculator is able to help you create a complete payment schedule for the life of the loan and provide you with information relating to the principal and interest that will need to be paid on a monthly or yearly basis.

Luckily for you there are plenty of online payment amortization calculators available which will help you weigh up the various different options you have with regard to loans and will be able to provide you with payment details accordingly. In order to get a correct figure you will need to input the mortgage loan amount, the interest rate as well as how long you want the term of the mortgage loan to be for. Once this information has been input then the payment amortization calculator will then provide you with a table which tells you how much of the loan is getting paid off and it will help you to understand just how you are paying the mortgage loan off. As you will soon see that in the table provided by the payment amortization calculator the monthly payments will change over the life of the loan. In the beginning most of the money that you pay in order to repay the loan goes towards covering the interest payments and then as time elapses more of the money will then go into paying off the principal part of the loan (the actual loan amount that you originally took out) and a much smaller part of any payment then covers the interest costs.

Loan Calculation – Building An Amortization Table in Excel

Knowing how to build an amortization table will give you a good handle on your monthly payment for a loan and how much you will pay in interest over the course of your loan.

I use amortization tables a lot in both business and in my personal life. For business, I usually use it to determine a monthly payment or determine the actual interest rate of a loan. Often, a loan will include a monthly processing fee or a service fee upfront – really just another form of interest, but if you are comparing two loans, you need to know what your true cost of capital is.

In personal use, I use an amortization table to determine what my mortgage interest is for the purposes of calculating my estimated taxes. I also use it for determining what the payment will be on a car loan based on different loan terms, for instance.

Information you need:
Loan amount (example: $200,000) Interest rate (example: 6%) Loan term in months (for this example, we are saying 36 months)
Open Excel, in cell A-1, type ‘Interest.’ In cell B-1, type your annual interest rate. In cell A-2, type ‘Term’, in B-2, type ‘Payment’, in C-2, type ‘Interest’, in D-2, type ‘Principal’, in E-2, type ‘Outstanding’. In cell E-3, type your total loan amount. In cell A-4, type ‘1′. In cell A-5, type ‘=A4+1′. Copy and paste into cells in the A column below A-5 until you get A-39 (or so that the number in the last cell equals the number of months of your loan). In cell B-4, type a reasonable number for your payment, 1,000 for every $100,000 in borrowed money will work fine. In cell C-4, type “=E3*$B$1/12″. In cell D-4, type “=B4-C4″. In cell E-4, type “=E3-D4″. In cell B-5, type “=B4″. Copy cells C-4 through E-4 into cells C-5 through E-5. Copy cells B-5 through E-5, and paste them in every row from row 6 to the row 39. Select cell E-39. Select ‘Goal Seek…” from the Tools menu. In ‘Set cell:’, it should say ‘E39′. In ‘To value:’, type in ‘0′. In ‘By changing cell:’, type ‘B4′. Hit OK.

This will give you the exact payment and monthly interest and principal payments for your loan.

Remember if you change the term of your loan, the places where I have put ‘E39′ will have to be changed to the row where your last term month is.

Here is a sample amortization file. This is a very useful tool because it is simple, but not many people really know how to do this.
