Explanation

This scenario starts with $2,000.00 at 18.99% APR. Paying $100.00/month clears the balance in about 25 months (example payoff date: 2/1/2028).

Month one interest is roughly $31.65 (1.58% per month), so about $68.35 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 $150.00/month, you’d save about 9 months in this setup and reduce total interest.
