Frequently Asked Questions

How do extra payments work on a loan?

When you make an extra payment above your standard EMI, 100% of that extra amount goes directly toward reducing your principal balance, not interest. Since interest is calculated on the remaining principal, reducing it faster drastically decreases the total interest you are charged over the life of the loan.

What is the 'Debt Avalanche' method?

It's a strategy where you make minimum payments on all your debts, but aggressively put all extra cash towards the debt with the absolute highest interest rate (like Credit Cards or Personal Loans). Once that is cleared, you move to the next highest rate. It saves the most interest mathematically.

What if my standard payment doesn't even cover the interest?

This is called 'negative amortization'. It means your debt is actually growing every month despite making payments. You MUST increase your monthly payment immediately above the 'Interest-only' threshold, otherwise you will never escape the debt.
