FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why isn't the balance exactly half after half the payments?
Early payments go mostly toward interest, so the principal balance decreases more slowly at first.
What if payments made equals or exceeds the total term?
The balance will show as fully paid off (zero).
Is this useful before refinancing?
Yes — knowing your current payoff balance helps you evaluate refinancing or early payoff options.
Does this account for any extra payments already made?
No, it assumes only the scheduled fixed payment was made each period.
