What This Calculator Does

View each month of a fixed-rate loan and model an extra payment made every month. Compare payoff time and total interest under the entered schedule; lender rules for how prepayments are applied can differ.

How It Works

Each month, the interest due is the balance times the monthly rate, and the rest of your payment reduces principal. Because the balance falls, interest shrinks over time and the principal portion grows. The annual chart shows the shift.

Example

A R300,000 loan at 6.5% over 30 years carries a payment near R1,896. Total interest approaches R382,000, but adding R100 a month cuts about 4 years off the term and saves over R60,000 in interest.

Reading the Results

Payoff Time

How long the loan actually lasts given your payments. Extra monthly payments shorten this dramatically.

Total Interest

The cumulative interest paid over the life of the loan. Early in the schedule most of each payment is interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is most of my early payment interest?

Interest is charged on the full outstanding balance, which is largest at the start. As you pay down principal, the interest slice shrinks.

How does an extra payment help?

Every extra dollar goes straight to principal, reducing future interest. It also shortens the term.

Can I use this for any loan?

Yes, the schedule works for any fixed-rate loan: auto, personal, student, or home.
