Frequently Asked Questions

How long to pay off $5,000?

How much interest will I pay on $5,000?

At 25% APR, you are paying roughly $104 in interest alone every single month. To make progress, your payment must exceed this amount.

Always pay extra. Paying only the minimum (~2%) typically extends your debt timeline to 15-20 years. Doubling the minimum often cuts that to 3-5 years.
