How much interest does an extra auto loan payment save?

On a $28,000 auto loan at 7.5% for 72 months, baseline payment is about $483 per month. Adding $100 per month extra principal can cut payoff by 10+ months and save $800–$1,200 in interest depending on timing. A one-time $1,500 lump sum after year one also shortens the schedule—compare both in the loan payoff calculator.

Enter your remaining balance and interest rate, then a monthly payment or target payoff timeline. See months to pay off, total interest, total paid, and a first-month principal and interest breakdown.

How to use this tool

Enter remaining balance and APR. Set a monthly payment you can afford—or a target payoff date in months—plus optional upfront fees. Calculate to see payoff time, total interest, and total cost. Optional upfront fees can be entered as dollars or a percent of the balance.

Worked example

Example: a $12,000 remaining balance at 8% with $350/month payments pays off in about 38 months; $100 in fees raises total cost above principal plus interest alone.

Common examples

  • $22,000 auto at 8.2% 66 months: $75/mo extra cuts 8 months.
  • Lump $2,000 at month 18 vs $75/mo from start—compare total interest.
  • No prepayment penalty assumed—confirm with lender.

How it works

Enter remaining loan balance and interest rate, then either a fixed monthly payment or a target payoff timeline in months. Estimates months to pay off, total interest, and total paid. Optional upfront fees are added into total cost.

Limitations

Assumes extra payments apply as you specify and that the lender accepts them without penalty. Verify prepayment rules first.
