Financial planning notice
This tool provides reference estimates only. Do not use it as the sole basis for lending, repayment, investment, tax, or contract decisions. Confirm the result with your lender, official documents, or a qualified professional before acting.
The calculator adds monthly interest to the balance, applies the minimum payment rule, then adds your extra monthly payment. It compares that plan against minimum-only payments under the same assumptions.
APR is the annual percentage rate. Use the purchase APR or revolving balance rate from your statement.
Minimum payments often shrink as the balance falls, so principal falls slowly and interest lasts longer.
It is the estimated target monthly payment minus the first minimum payment, useful for planning a repeatable extra amount.
