Explanation
This scenario starts with $10,000.00 at 29.99% APR. Paying $300.00/month clears the balance in about 73 months (example payoff date: 2/1/2032).
Month one interest is roughly $249.92 (2.50% per month), so about $50.08 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 $350.00/month, you’d save about 22 months in this setup and reduce total interest.
