Understanding Your Loan
A loan is a sum of money that is borrowed and expected to be paid back with interest. The monthly payment is determined by the size of the loan, the interest rate, and the length of the term.
Most installment loans (like auto or personal loans) use an amortization schedule, meaning that in the beginning, more of your payment goes toward interest, while toward the end, more goes toward the principal.
How to Lower Your Total Cost
- Higher Down Payment: Reduces the initial principal amount borrowed.
- Shorter Term: While monthly payments are higher, you pay significantly less in total interest.
- Extra Payments: Making small extra payments toward the principal can drastically reduce the loan duration and interest.
