Explanation
This scenario starts with $1,000.00 at 29.99% APR. Paying $100.00/month clears the balance in about 12 months (example payoff date: 1/1/2027).
Month one interest is roughly $24.99 (2.50% per month), so about $75.01 goes to principal right away.
Interest is a smaller share of the payment from the start, so most of what you pay reduces principal. That typically leads to a faster payoff curve.
If you increased the payment by $50 to $150.00/month, you’d save about 4 months in this setup and reduce total interest.
