Formula
Remaining Balance = Loan Amount – (Extra Repayment × Number of Payments)
Total Interest = Total Payments – Loan Amount
Example Calculation
$250,000 loan, 5.5% interest, 30 years, $500 extra repayment = $150,000 total interest.
Why It Matters
Extra repayments can significantly reduce your loan balance and save you thousands in interest payments.
Smart Strategy
Making extra repayments early on is the most effective strategy for paying off your loan faster and reducing interest.
