Note that this monthly payment covers only the interest and the principal on the loan. It does not
cover any insurance or taxes on the property.
Amortization Schedule: In order to summarize all the information regarding the amortization of
loan, construct a schedule that keeps track of the payment number, the principal paid, the
interest, and the unpaid balance. A spreadsheet program is an excellent tool to develop an
amortization schedule. We can use a free amortization spreadsheet on the web.
