How it works

## How it works

Each month interest is added to the balance, then your payment is subtracted. The calculator finds how many payments it takes to reach zero.

FAQ

## About this calculator

**Why does it say to enter a bigger payment?**

If your payment is no more than the monthly interest, the balance never goes down, so there is no payoff date.

**Does it include new charges?**

No. It assumes you add nothing to the balance.

**How much would an extra payment save?**

Try a larger monthly payment and compare the total interest.

**Is anything saved?**

No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.

**Is this tax or financial advice?**

No. It is a calculator for general information. Check the numbers against your own records, and ask an accountant before you act on them.
