Pay Down Loan – Loan Early Payoff

I want to pay down my loan early, how much additional should I pay each month to pay down the loan by the time I choose?

How much additional would you need to pay each month to pay down a loan in a certain number of years and months? Run this pay off loan calculator to find out your early loan pay off time. Enter your loan balance, your current monthly payment, the interest rate, and the desired number of years and months to pay down the loan and this extra payment calculator will show you how much additional you must pay each month to meet that loan pay off time. It also shows how much time and money you will save if you pay off the loan early vs. paying as scheduled.

A Good ‘Pay Down Loan’ Strategy is to Pay Extra Principal Every Month

One of the most common ways to pay down a loan early is to pay additional principal each month. You don’t have to pay a lot of extra each month to make a significant difference in your loan pay off time. An additional $50, or even $25 extra principal each month may make a surprising difference. You can save a lot of interest if you pay down the loan early.This pay off loan calculator is designed to tell you how much extra you should pay each month to pay down a loan in the years and months you choose. Use the Existing Loan Payoff Calculator if you know how much additional you can pay and want to see how soon you can get to that loan pay off date.

  2. Can you do a loan calculator with interest already accrued? This would be good for student loan scenarios where my loan has been accruing interest for 4 years and then I’m paying back the interest instead of paying down principal.

  3. This site is so fantastic! And has helped me so much- how to get things paid off faster , plan for my future and actually see how much debt I can handle at any given time. This should be given to kids in high school in say career planning classes or the banks should give something like this out for anyone getting a loan but I guess they don’t want us to pay things off too quickly 🙂

  6. The rich are paying off loans big time now. This is b/c they see interest rates are about to rise. Will payoff my student loans by the end of May – then, just the home mtg.

    Consider doing this? If you buy a house, don’t live in it – rent it. Then, you rent a house for yourself. The rent you receive should be enough to pay the mtg. AND any repairs. Plus, the mtg. interest and taxes are deductible… PLUS, you won’t have to pay for any repairs on the house you rent. :>) Thank you, Robert Kyosaki AND Dr. Thomas J. Stanley. Great advice!

  7. Great website. Could you create a calculator that would be able to compute paydown with extra WEEKLY payments? I’m working on paying off my student loan in the next six months; it would really be helpful.

    Thanks~!
