How debt payoff is calculated
Payments, interest, and time all affect total cost
The size of your monthly payment relative to the monthly interest charge determines how quickly the balance falls and how much interest you pay overall.
Monthly Interest
Balance × (Annual Rate ÷ 12)
Principal Reduction
Monthly Payment − Monthly Interest
Total Interest
Total Paid − Original Balance
