Explanation
This scenario starts with $2,000.00 at 24.99% APR. Paying $50.00/month clears the balance in about 87 months (example payoff date: 4/1/2033).
Month one interest is roughly $41.65 (2.08% per month), so about $8.35 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 $100.00/month, you’d save about 60 months in this setup and reduce total interest.
