How Loan Payments Work
Loan payments are split between principal and interest. In the early months, most of your payment goes toward interest. As your balance shrinks, more of each payment is applied to principal. This is called amortization.
Tips to Save on Interest
Making extra payments toward principal can dramatically reduce your total interest and shorten your loan term. Even small additional payments each month can save you thousands over the life of the loan. A shorter term or lower interest rate also reduces the total cost significantly.
