Is my loan amount (principal) reducing?
When you make your principal and interest repayments, a proportion repays the principal amount and a proportion goes towards paying the interest amount.
However, for the first half of your loan term, a higher proportion of your minimum monthly repayments goes towards the interest amount. As you continue to repay your loan over the term, a higher proportion of your repayment will go towards your principal amount.
