Explanation
This scenario starts with $2,000.00 at 24.99% APR. Paying $300.00/month clears the balance in about 8 months (example payoff date: 9/1/2026).
Month one interest is roughly $41.65 (2.08% per month), so about $258.35 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 $176.12. Even small payment increases can reduce interest, especially at higher APRs.
