Frequently asked questions
- What if my payment barely covers the interest?
- If your payment is less than or equal to the monthly interest charge, the balance never falls. The calculator automatically raises your payment by $1 above interest to show meaningful progress.
- How can I pay off faster?
- Try increasing your payment by even $20–50/month — the chart will show how dramatically that shortens the timeline and cuts total interest.
