Understanding Your Payment

Your $200,000 loan payment is calculated using the standard amortization formula. At 7% interest over 30 years, you'll make 291 monthly payments of $1,330.60 plus your extra $100 payment.

Payment breakdown: Each month, your payment is divided between principal (reducing your balance) and interest (the cost of borrowing). Initially, 81.6% goes to interest. Over time, more goes toward principal as your balance decreases.

Rate sensitivity: At 7%, your first-month interest charge is $1,166.67. Even small rate changes significantly impact your total interest paid — see the rate comparison below.

Extra payment impact: Your $100 extra monthly payment goes entirely toward principal, reducing your balance faster and saving $63,304.40 over the loan term.
