Frequently Asked Questions

How does paying extra each month save interest?

Extra payments go straight toward the principal, which shrinks the balance that interest accrues on — so you pay less interest overall and finish sooner.

Does this work for loans other than auto loans?

Yes. It models any amortizing loan with fixed monthly payments, such as personal loans.

What is an amortizing loan?

A loan repaid in fixed installments where each payment covers interest first and the rest reduces the principal, like most car and personal loans.

Are my loan details sent anywhere?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser — your numbers never leave your device.

Is the calculator free?

Yes, free with no signup.
