Frequently Asked Questions
How is monthly payment calculated?
We use the standard amortization formula that banks use. It ensures equal payments throughout the loan while properly allocating principal and interest.
Why does most of my early payment go to interest?
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance. When you owe more (early in the loan), more of your payment covers interest. This flips over time.
