Frequently asked questions

How is the monthly loan payment calculated?

With the annuity formula from the principal, annual interest rate and term. The payment is equal every month, but the interest/principal split shifts over time.

Why do I pay more interest early on?

With an annuity, interest accrues on the remaining principal, which is largest at the start — so early payments are mostly interest and later ones mostly principal.

Is this a forecast or investment advice?
