Loan Amortization Schedule

Each EMI = Interest portion + Principal portion (changes monthly)

In early EMIs, 70-80% goes to interest and only 20-30% to principal.

By the last few years, 80-90% of EMI goes to principal — the ratio flips over time.

Amortization schedule shows exact interest and principal split for each month.

Use this to plan prepayments — targeting early years gives maximum interest savings.

Understanding amortization explains why 20-year vs 30-year loan makes a massive difference in total cost.
