Explanation
This scenario starts with $10,000.00 at 12.99% APR. Paying $150.00/month clears the balance in about 119 months (example payoff date: 12/1/2035).
Month one interest is roughly $108.25 (1.08% per month), so about $41.75 goes to principal right away.
Early on, interest consumes a large share of the payment, so progress feels slow. The good news: as the balance drops, interest drops too, and more of each payment goes toward principal.
If you increased the payment by $50 to $200.00/month, you’d save about 46 months in this setup and reduce total interest.
