Principal
Visualize how much of your monthly mortgage payment is actually paying off your home loan balance versus interest.
Strategic Insights
Due to the way mortgage amortization works, your early payments are heavily weighted toward Interest. This is because the interest is calculated based on the total remaining balance.
As you pay down the principal, the interest charge decreases, allowing a larger portion of your $3,160.34 payment to go directly toward building home equity.
