Loan Repayment Schedule
A Loan Repayment Schedule is a detailed breakdown of how a loan is repaid over time. It includes a monthly breakdown of the principal repayment, interest paid, and remaining balance after each payment.
Why is it Useful?
- Transparency – Helps borrowers understand how much they are paying towards interest vs. principal.
- Prepayment Planning – Shows how extra payments can reduce the loan duration.
- Financial Planning – Helps in managing monthly expenses and future payments.
What Does It Include?
A typical Amortization Schedule consists of these columns:
- Month – 1, 2, 3, … (until the loan is fully repaid)
- EMI Amount – Fixed monthly installment
- Principal Paid – Portion of EMI that reduces the loan amount
- Interest Paid – Interest portion of EMI (decreases over time)
- Remaining Balance – Loan balance after each EMI
