Explanation
This scenario starts with $8,000.00 at 12.99% APR. Paying $150.00/month clears the balance in about 80 months (example payoff date: 9/1/2032).
Month one interest is roughly $86.60 (1.08% per month), so about $63.40 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 $200.00/month, you’d save about 27 months in this setup and reduce total interest.
