Tips for Using Your Printed Schedule
- Highlight milestones: Mark the month where your interest paid exceeds the principal paid — this crossover point shows when you're building equity faster than paying interest.
- Track overpayments manually: Note any months where you made additional payments alongside the printed schedule to see the real-world impact on your remaining balance.
- Review annually: Reprint your schedule once a year to compare actual progress against the original projection and spot if rising rates or missed payments have affected your timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print my amortisation schedule directly from the browser?
You can use your browser's print function to print the on-screen schedule, but for the best results — especially for long schedules — exporting as a CSV and opening in Excel or Google Sheets gives you more control over formatting, page layout, and column widths.
What format is the exported file from the loan amortisation calculator?
The calculator exports your amortisation schedule as a CSV (comma-separated values) file. This format opens natively in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, and most other spreadsheet applications.
How many rows will my printed amortisation schedule have?
One row per payment period. For a 25-year mortgage with monthly payments, that is 300 rows. For a 10-year loan, it is 120 rows. You can filter or group rows in Excel or Google Sheets before printing to focus on specific periods.
