Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my loan balance decrease slowly in early years?

Because amortized loans are front-loaded with interest: monthly payments in early years consist mostly of interest, with a smaller portion going toward principal repayment.

How can I reduce my outstanding loan balance faster?

Making bi-weekly payments or adding extra principal payments directly reduces the compounding principal and dramatically cuts total lifetime interest.
