Before paying extra
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is there a prepayment penalty? | Some agreements may limit or charge for early payoff. |
| Are extra payments applied to principal? | Principal-only application can reduce interest faster. |
| Do you have emergency savings? | Paying extra should not create new borrowing pressure. |
Methodology
The calculator estimates the scheduled payment using a fixed-installment formula, then simulates monthly interest and principal reduction with the extra payment added. Zero APR is handled as straight-line principal repayment.
Borrow Your Loan is not a lender. Your loan agreement controls payment application, payoff amount, fees, and prepayment rules.
