This is a simple calculator that shows you
                  the balance of your loan over the length of the loan. It also
                  shows you what amount of your payment is interest, and what
                  amount is being applied to the principal. The difference between
                  the payment amount and the interest amount, is the figure being
                  applied to the principal. As you can see, in the beginning
                  more of your payment is used towards paying the interest of
                  the loan then paying off the balance. View the Bi-Weekly calculator
                  to see how making payments every 4 weeks instead of every month
                  can save you thousands of dollars or take years off the term
                  of the loan.  |
