Every extra dollar you pay on a loan goes straight to reducing your principal. This means less interest accrues the next month, creating a snowball effect. Even an additional $50 or $100 per month can shave years off your loan and save you thousands in interest. This calculator shows you exactly how much time and money you save with extra payments.
Extra payments go directly toward reducing your principal balance. Since interest is calculated on the remaining balance, a lower balance means less interest each month, which shortens your loan term and reduces total interest paid.
Compare your loan's interest rate to your expected investment return. If your loan rate is higher, paying it off first saves more. If your investment return is higher, investing may be smarter. Also consider the guaranteed nature of debt reduction vs. investment risk.
Making extra payments earlier in the loan term saves more interest because your balance is higher. Even starting small early has a bigger impact than larger extra payments made later in the loan.
