How are the installments calculated?

Updated today

Your installments follow a French amortization model, meaning:

  • each installment has the same total amount

  • the interest portion decreases over time

  • the principal portion increases over time.

➡️ How French amortization works

In a French amortization schedule:

1️⃣ Each installment has the same total amount.

2️⃣ The installment is composed of:

  • interest portion

  • principal portion

3️⃣ Over time:

  • the interest decreases

  • the principal increases

because interest is calculated on the remaining principal balance.
