How the loan payment formula works

Your monthly payment is calculated using the standard amortization formula. It spreads the loan amount (principal) and interest evenly over the loan term, so each payment is the same.

As you pay down the loan, more of each payment goes toward principal and less toward interest. You can see this shift in the amortization schedule above.

Tips to pay less interest

  • Choose a shorter loan term if you can afford a higher monthly payment.
  • Shop around for the lowest annual percentage rate (APR).
  • Make extra principal payments when possible.
  • Improve your credit score before applying.
