Amortization table

[Cloudlb]

Anyone have any suggestions for keeping track of my auto loan?  Especially if I put extra payments down on the principal, I want to be able to track my progress.  I think your bank should have this available for you, but I don't think that's common.  Just do an excel spreadsheet? or what?

Just Google "amortization calculator" -- they're all over the internet.

Or, if you have checkbook software on your computer, use the one almost certainly included.

An amortization schedule is a great tool -- just pay the principal for the NEXT payment each month along with your regular payment (make sure it's credited as extra principal, and NOT put into escrow!), and you can cut your loan term in half.

Microsoft Excel Has one built in.

I've been playing with the Bankrate one, and it does have the neat feature of calculating how much quicker you can pay off if you slot in extra payments.  But it's not "mine."  And I could do an excel one, I guess .. . I wish I could access an "official" bank one, so I could make sure my numbers match my lenders'.
