How can a schedule show interest and principal separately?
The split can change as the balance changes, even where the payment itself stays the same.
Follow the columns rather than assuming that each payment reduces principal by its full amount. A schedule is an illustration under stated terms and may need updating after changes or missed payments.

- Identify the amount received and the opening balance
