How Loan Payments Work
Each loan payment includes both principal and interest, calculated using an amortization formula. Early payments go mostly toward interest, while later payments primarily reduce the principal balance. Understanding this helps you make informed borrowing decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
The loan payment is calculated using an amortization formula that considers the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term. The formula ensures that each payment covers both principal and interest.
Your loan payment is primarily affected by three factors: the loan amount (principal), the interest rate, and the loan term. A higher principal or interest rate will increase payments, while a longer term will lower monthly payments but increase total interest paid.
A shorter loan term typically means higher monthly payments but less total interest paid. A longer term reduces monthly payments but increases the total interest cost. Choose based on your monthly budget and long-term financial goals.
You can reduce loan payments by: securing a lower interest rate, making a larger down payment, extending the loan term (though this increases total interest), or improving your credit score to qualify for better rates.
