Interest Saved with Extra Monthly Payments
Compare the standard amortizing schedule with the same loan when you add a fixed extra amount each month toward principal. Shows interest saved and months shaved off (simplified simulation, extra principal each month shortens term).
How to use
Enter Loan amount, Rate, Term, and Extra monthly payment. Read interest saved and shortened term. Confirm with your lender that extras go to principal immediately.
Example
400,000 at 5.25% for 20 years with 2,000 extra per month can remove many months of interest versus minimum payments only.
Tips
Some loans charge prepayment penalties or recast instead of shortening term. Variable rates are held flat in the model.
