However, your lender may only give you your payment schedule, which, as we talked about before, doesn't break down how much of your payment goes towards principal, and how much goes toward interest. If an amortization schedule is not provided to you, you can ask them for one.
The Rule of 78 weights the earlier payments with more interest than the later payments. In 12 equal installments, interest is allocated as follows: 12/78 of the interest is considered earned in the first month, 11/78 in the second, 10/78 in the third, and so on.
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.
User-friendliness: Excel is relatively user-friendly, so making an amortization schedule within the Excel program is fairly easy to do. Because of this, virtually anyone can create one of these schedules for their own business or personal financial purposes.
The Rule of 78s is also known as the sum of the digits. In fact, the 78 is a sum of the digits of the months in a year: 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4, etc., to 12, equals 78. Under the rule, each month in the contract is assigned a value which is exactly the reverse of its occurrence in the contract.
The Rule of 78 weights the earlier payments with more interest than the later payments. In 12 equal installments, interest is allocated as follows: 12/78 of the interest is considered earned in the first month, 11/78 in the second, 10/78 in the third, and so on.

If you want to shorten or lengthen the amortization period of your mortgage, you can do so when renewing. Yes, a shorter amortization period means you'll be paying more every week or month. But you've got a good chance of getting a better interest rate, and you'll definitely be paying off your mortgage much faster.
