It builds a payment-by-payment schedule showing how each mortgage payment splits between interest and principal, and how your balance falls to zero over the life of the loan.
Amortization in Florida
An amortization schedule covers only principal and interest, so it looks the same in Florida as anywhere else for a given loan. What differs is your escrow: Florida property taxes and insurance are collected on top of the amortized payment, so your actual monthly total will exceed the figure on the schedule.
The calculator computes a fixed monthly payment, then walks the loan forward month by month. Each period it charges interest on the remaining balance, applies the rest of the payment to principal, and reduces the balance — repeating until the loan is paid off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is so much of my early payment interest?
Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, which is highest at the start. As you pay the balance down, the interest portion of each payment shrinks and more goes to principal.
How do extra payments change the schedule?
Any amount above the scheduled payment goes straight to principal, lowering the balance immediately. That reduces all future interest and pulls your payoff date earlier without changing your required monthly payment.
