Behind the answer
How to calculate
Each month: interest = balance × monthly rate; principal = payment − interest. Extra principal reduces the next month’s balance.
Worked example
On a fixed-rate loan, extra principal generally shortens the term and reduces future interest.
What to keep in mind
Assumes the lender applies the extra amount directly to principal every month with no fee. Confirm prepayment rules with the lender.
