Explanation
This scenario starts with $2,000.00 at 29.99% APR. Paying $400.00/month clears the balance in about 6 months (example payoff date: 7/1/2026).
Month one interest is roughly $49.98 (2.50% per month), so about $350.02 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.
Total interest paid is about $164.23. Even small payment increases can reduce interest, especially at higher APRs.
