This scenario starts with $2,000.00 at 18.99% APR. Paying $400.00/month clears the balance in about 6 months (example payoff date: 7/1/2026).

Month one interest is roughly $31.65 (1.58% per month), so about $368.35 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.

Total interest paid is about $100.60. Even small payment increases can reduce interest, especially at higher APRs.
