FAQ
You can ask your lender for an amortization schedule, but this might not be as helpful if you're looking to see how extra payments could impact that schedule.
Fortunately, Excel can be used to create an amortization schedule. The amortization schedule template below can be used for a variable number of periods, as well as extra payments and variable interest rates.
On the income statement, typically within the “depreciation and amortization” line item, will be the amount of an amortization expense write-off. On the balance sheet, as a contra account, will be the accumulated amortization account. It is located after the intangible assets line item.
Example of Amortization In the first month, $75 of the $664.03 monthly payment goes to interest. The remaining $589.03 goes toward the principal. The total payment stays the same each month, while the portion going to principal increases and the portion going to interest decreases.
Journal entry for depreciation records the reduced value of a tangible asset, such a office building, vehicle, or equipment, to show the use of the asset over time. In a depreciation journal entry, the depreciation account is debited and the fixed asset account is credited.
Record amortization expenses on the income statement under a line item called “depreciation and amortization.” Debit the amortization expense to increase the asset account and reduce revenue. Credit the intangible asset for the value of the expense.
If for whatever reason you might want to extend your amortization period–in an effort to maybe lower your monthly mortgage payments–you can. However it's important to note that doing this will be treated as a new application and you'll have to qualify for a mortgage all over again.
