FAQ
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.
PMT Function Select the cell where you want to add the result of the payment function. Click the Insert Function button. Select Financial from the list of function categories. Select the PMT function. Click OK. Fill in the function arguments. Click OK when you're finished.
The formula to be used will be =IPMT( 5%/12, 1, 60, 50000). In the example above: As the payments are made monthly, it was necessary to convert the annual interest rate of 5% into a monthly rate (=5%/12), and the number of periods from years to months (=512).
If you prepay your mortgage you reduce the principal balance, reducing the interest due next month and every month forward. If you prepay $1000 on your mortgage, the interest next month will be reduced by 10003.7%/12=3.08 You will still make the same payment, but an additional 3.083 will be credited toward principal.
Even a single extra payment made each year can reduce the amount of interest and shorten the amortization, as long as the payment goes toward the principal and not the interest.
Ideally, you want your extra payments to go towards the principal amount. However, many lenders will apply the extra payments to any interest accrued since your last payment and then apply anything left over to the principal amount. Other times, lenders may apply extra funds to next month's payment.
