Why Extra Payments Matter
Making additional payments on your auto loan can reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan, and shorten the time it takes to pay off your loan.
Example Calculation
For a loan of $25,000 at 5% interest for 60 months, with an extra payment of $100 each month, your new monthly payment would be $500, saving you over $2,000 in interest and reducing your loan term by 6 months.
Smart Strategy
Make extra payments if you can afford it. This will help you pay off your loan faster and save money on interest.
FAQs
