Similar to what obtains for the depreciation of tangible assets, there are three primary methods of amortization: the straight-line method, the accelerated method, and the units-of-production method.
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.
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.
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.
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. Just make sure your lender processes the payment this way.
TEXAS FINANCE CODE § 343.106 REQUIRES PAYOFF STATEMENT CONTAIN CLOSING DATE AND DATE THROUGH WHICH PAYOFF AMOUNT IS VALID.
TILA requires that a mortgage lender or servicer send ''an accurate payoff balance within a reasonable time, but in no case more than seven business days'' after receiving the borrower's request. 15 U.S.C. § 1639g.
To get a payoff letter, ask your lender for an official payoff statement. Call or write to customer service or make the request online. While logged into your account, look for options to request or calculate a payoff amount, and provide details such as your desired payoff date.
