FAQ
- How do extra payments save interest?
- Each extra dollar goes straight to principal, so less balance accrues interest every month afterward. Over time this compounds into a shorter term and a large reduction in total interest.
- How are months saved calculated?
- We simulate the loan month by month with your extra payment applied, count how many months it takes to reach a zero balance, and subtract that from your original remaining term.
- Does paying extra always help?
- Mathematically yes — any extra principal shortens the loan and cuts interest. Just confirm your lender applies extra payments to principal and that there is no prepayment penalty.
