A loan can be a powerful financial tool, but it is essential to understand how repayments are structured. Each monthly payment you make consists of two parts: a portion that pays the interest accrued for that month, and a portion that reduces your outstanding loan principal (the amount you borrowed).
This process is called amortisation. In the early stages of your loan, a larger part of your payment goes towards interest. As you continue to make payments and the principal decreases, the interest portion shrinks and more of your money goes towards clearing the actual debt. This is why the debt is paid off at an accelerating rate towards the end of the term.
The Term Trade-Off
A shorter loan term means higher monthly payments, but you will pay less total interest. A longer term results in lower, more manageable monthly payments, but you will pay significantly more in interest over the life of the loan. It is a trade-off between monthly affordability and total cost.
Our calculator helps you experiment with different scenarios. For larger loans like a mortgage, even a small change in the interest rate can have a huge impact on the total cost. We recommend using our mortgage calculator for property-specific calculations or our debt repayment calculator to strategise paying off multiple debts.
