How debt payoff works
- Each monthly payment first covers estimated interest.
- The remaining payment reduces principal.
- As principal falls, future interest charges generally decline.
Frequently asked questions
What does Debt Reduced mean?
It is the reduction in outstanding principal during that projection year.
Why can a payment be too low?
If the monthly payment does not exceed the current monthly interest charge, the balance cannot amortize normally.
