The Power of Extra Payments on Student Debt
The secret to minimizing student loan burden is understanding that every extra dollar you put toward the **principal** balance avoids future interest charges. This calculator is based on the **Debt Avalanche** method, which is mathematically the most efficient way to pay off debt: always target the loan with the highest interest rate first.
- **Compounding Interest:** Student loans often have long repayment terms (10-20 years). Even a small extra payment, made consistently, can drastically reduce your repayment period and total interest due because the interest has less time to compound.
- **Targeting High APRs:** By directing your extra payment to the highest Annual Percentage Rate (APR) loan, you are killing the most expensive debt first, maximizing your savings.
For young professionals, deciding whether to pay down debt or invest is a major choice. This tool provides the clear financial cost of the debt, allowing you to make an informed decision about balancing your budget.
