Frequently Asked Questions
How long to pay off $5,000?
With a monthly payment of $300, it will take approximately 20 months to pay off $5,000 at 20% APR.
How much interest will I pay on $5,000?
At 20% APR, you are paying roughly $83 in interest alone every single month. To make progress, your payment must exceed this amount.
Is it better to pay minimum or extra?
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.
