Explanation
This scenario starts with $2,000.00 at 12.99% APR. Paying $200.00/month clears the balance in about 11 months (example payoff date: 12/1/2026).
Month one interest is roughly $21.65 (1.08% per month), so about $178.35 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 $250.00/month, you’d save about 2 months in this setup and reduce total interest.
