FAQ
What is amortization?
Amortization is the process of spreading loan payments over time. Each payment includes both principal and interest, with interest decreasing as the balance is paid down.
How does loan term affect payments?
Shorter terms have higher monthly payments but less total interest. Longer terms have lower payments but more interest over time.
