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.
To properly amortize a prepaid asset in the most basic calculation, the business will divide the total value of the prepaid expense by the number of months it will last. This is expressed in equation form as: monthly expense = total value/number of months.
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.
Most often, prepaid expenses are amortized using the straight-line method, which evenly spreads the expense over the period of benefit. For example, an amortization schedule for a six-month insurance premium would show one-sixth of the premium being transferred to insurance expense each month for six months.
Amortizing Advances can be structured to match a variety of fixed-rate mortgage amortization schedules, giving you the flexibility to customize the advance to meet your specific funding needs.
