How the calculation works
Interest accrues on the outstanding balance; payments reduce interest first and then principal under common loan rules.
Example
Compare the current payment with a higher monthly payment to see how the estimated payoff changes.
Things to keep in mind
- Check whether the payment covers accrued interest and meets the lender's minimum.
- Check variable rates, fees and promotional-rate end dates in the agreement.
- The result is an estimate based on the inputs and assumptions provided.
- Check applicable terms and official guidance before making financial, employment or academic decisions.
