Loan Balance Over Time

No overpayment vs shorten term vs reduce payment

Glossary

Shorten term

After the overpayment, the bank recalculates the schedule keeping the same payment but reducing the number of months. Result: faster loan payoff and less total interest.

Reduce payment

After the overpayment, the monthly payment drops while the term stays the same. Lower monthly burden, but slightly less total interest savings compared to shortening the term.

Loan overpayment

An extra payment on top of your regular installment. It reduces the remaining principal, which means lower interest charges in subsequent months.

How it works

The calculator generates a full repayment schedule with overpayment and compares it to a schedule without. The difference in total interest is your savings.
