Frequently asked questions
What is mortgage amortization?
Mortgage amortization is the process of paying off your loan through scheduled monthly payments that cover both principal and interest over the loan term.
Why do early payments have more interest?
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, which is highest at the beginning, so more of your early payments go toward interest charges.
Can I pay off my mortgage early?
Yes, making extra principal payments reduces your balance faster, saves interest costs, and shortens your loan term significantly over time.
