Say there’s a loan for $10,000. The interest rate is 11%. Monthly payment is $300.
How can you keep interest at bay, and not pay thousands in interest by the end of it all?
Is there a formula to figure out how much *extra* to pay per month, in order to… cancel out? the interest?
Is this even possible? Is this even how interest works?
Honestly, I don’t get the concept at all. Explain it to me like I’m five.
In: Economics
$300 is how much you **have** to pay. That doesn’t mean you can’t pay more. So pay an extra $100 or $300 every month.
You never cancel out 100% of the interest unless you pay the full 10k off right away.
