See where every dollar of the term goes.

A loan is arithmetic: principal against interest, year by year. We put the arithmetic in front of you — the rate, the term, the balance and the split — before you sign anything.

How it runs

Interest is front-loaded. So is the decision.

In year one, most of a payment is interest. By the last year, almost none of it is. Where the two cross depends on the rate, the term and the balance you choose — which is the whole reason we run the schedule before you commit.
