How amortization works
A fixed-rate VA loan is amortized: each monthly payment is split between interest (highest early on) and principal (highest later). The schedule you see above shows exactly how that split shifts over the life of the loan.

Funding fee, financed
Most veterans finance the VA funding fee. That means it's added to your base loan and amortized with everything else — you don't pay it out of pocket, but you do pay interest on it. Exempt borrowers pay $0.
Extra principal shortens the loan
Even a small monthly principal add can cut years off a 30-year VA loan and save tens of thousands in interest. Enter an "Extra monthly principal" above and watch the payoff month and interest saved recalculate instantly.
