Frequently Asked Questions

Any fixed-rate installment loan: auto, student, personal, small business, RV, motorcycle. Not credit cards (variable balance) or interest-only loans.

PMT = P × (r ÷ 12) ÷ [1 − (1 + r ÷ 12)^−n] where P = principal, r = annual rate, n = months. Example: $25k @ 8.5%/60mo = $513/mo.

Yes if your APR is high (>6%) and you have no higher-interest debt. Each extra dollar of principal saves the interest that would have accrued on it. Check for prepayment penalties.

Set the rate to 0%. Monthly payment becomes P / n with $0 interest. Common in promotional auto loans, but verify the actual APR vs cash discount you would forgo.
