Understanding loan costs

Amortization

Each payment covers both interest and principal. Early payments are mostly interest — principal paydown accelerates over time.

Rate impact

A 1% rate difference on a $300k mortgage changes your total interest by tens of thousands of dollars over 30 years.

Extra payments

Making even one extra payment per year can cut years off your loan term and save significant interest.

Refinancing

If rates drop significantly, refinancing can lower your payment and total cost — but factor in closing costs first.
