Amortization Calculator gives borrowers a practical way to work through the numbers and questions that shape a mortgage decision. Southwood Mortgage pairs the tool or guide with plain-language context so the result is easier to use.
Estimate monthly payment and view the first year of amortization to understand how much of each payment goes to principal versus interest.
Base Monthly Payment: —
Interest Paid In Year 1: —
Principal Paid In Year 1: —
Approximate Remaining Balance After Year 1: —
The estimate on this page is most useful when you pair it with your actual taxes, insurance, credit profile, mortgage insurance, and cash-to-close plan. Small changes in those inputs can create a very different monthly payment or refinance outcome.
Once you have a rough number, review rates and fees, compare loan types inside our solutions pages, or send us details through the contact page for a more practical review.
Property taxes, insurance, points, reserves, and closing costs matter.
Testing a different rate, term, or down payment often changes the best answer.
A loan should still fit your life after closing, not just the calculator output.
