About the Annuity Loan Amortization Calculator
- An annuity loan features fixed periodic payments where early payments cover more interest than principal, gradually reversing over time.
- The amortization table reveals how much interest you'll pay over the full loan term, helping assess total borrowing costs.
- Payment frequency options include monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually to match your actual repayment schedule.
- The calculator uses the actuarial method to ensure precise principal/interest allocation for each payment period.
- Extra payment functionality shows how additional principal reduces both loan term and total interest paid.
- Commercial lenders use identical calculations when generating official loan amortization schedules for borrowers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between annuity loans and linear loans?
Annuity loans maintain constant payments throughout the term with varying principal/interest ratios, while linear loans have fixed principal payments with decreasing interest components and declining total payments.
How does payment frequency affect total interest?
More frequent payments (e.g. weekly vs monthly) reduce total interest because principal decreases faster, though the effect is modest compared to rate or term changes.
Can I calculate adjustable-rate loans with this tool?
This calculator assumes fixed interest rates. For ARMs, generate separate tables for each rate adjustment period using the applicable rate.
Why do early payments have higher interest portions?
Interest is calculated on the outstanding balance, which is highest at the start. As principal is paid down, less interest accrues each period.
How accurate are these calculations compared to bank statements?
The results match standard lending practices when using the same inputs. Small discrepancies may occur due to rounding or specific lender policies.
What formula is used for annuity loan calculations?
The tool uses the standard annuity formula: Payment = Principal × [r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1], where r is periodic interest rate and n is total number of payments.
