USDA Farm Loan Amortization Calculator
Generate a USDA farm loan amortization schedule with monthly payment breakdown, total interest, and remaining balance over time.
This USDA farm loan amortization calculator creates a month-by-month schedule showing how each payment is split between principal and interest. It helps estimate long-term borrowing cost and cash flow for USDA/FSA-style farm loans.
How this calculator works
- Monthly rate = APR ÷ 12
- Total payments = years × 12
- Each payment is split into interest + principal
- Interest decreases as the remaining balance decreases
Assumptions & notes
- Fixed APR (variable-rate loans will differ)
- Principal + interest only (fees, escrow, insurance not included)
- Program-specific rules (USDA/FSA) are not modeled here
- Lender rounding may cause small differences
Frequently asked questions
Why is more interest paid early in the loan?
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, which is highest in the early months.
Does USDA/FSA allow extra payments?
Many loans allow extra principal payments, which can reduce total interest. Check your loan agreement for prepayment rules.
Is this an official USDA schedule?
No. This is an independent estimate using standard amortization math. Always confirm with your lender’s disclosures.
