This scenario starts with $2,000.00 at 29.99% APR. Paying $200.00/month clears the balance in about 12 months (example payoff date: 1/1/2027).

Month one interest is roughly $49.98 (2.50% per month), so about $150.02 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.
