With a fixed monthly payment, the early payments are mostly interest and the later ones mostly principal. That is why, halfway through a loan, you usually still owe more than half.
Enter the original loan, rate, term and the number of payments made to see what is left and how much you have paid in interest so far.
Frequently asked questions
Why have I repaid so little after paying so much?
Interest is charged on the remaining balance, which is highest at the start, so early payments repay little principal.
Does paying extra help?
Yes: every extra payment reduces the balance on which interest is charged, shortening the loan or lowering the payment.
Is this exactly what my bank shows?
It should be close; banks may differ by a few units because of rounding and the exact payment dates.
