What is the loan schedule?

The loan schedule is a message that gives the details of the repayment of the loan, usually with respect to the mortgage or another loan for structured interest. Several items are listed in the loan schedule, including the principal or the amount of money due. This number is the amount of the loan after deducting the backup. The loan schedule also states the interest rate and shows how much interest it includes in each payment.

AMORTIZATION is a calculation that divides the main number of months permitted for repayment of the loan. Interest is then calculated in accordance with the length of the loan and the current rate.

In the first payments as planned by the loan you will notice thate Your interest payments are higher than your principal payments. In this way it usually works until the middle of the life of a loan. You will notice that the amount of paid interest decreases every month, while the amount of the paid principal increases every month. When you reach a half point, you will see that payments will start to equalize. Then you start paying more principal every month than interest until the loan is repaid.

Be sure to ask if you will be allowed to delay the loan payments. The delay time will allow you to make five days within two weeks to make a payment after it is actually due without being penalized.
